[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 518842, member: 5302"] With all due respect of your skills and knowledge of the shooting sports, using the smallest groups that seldom happen is the worst way to describe them. They only happen the smallest percentage of the time. Accuracy's best described by the largest group(s) fired. That's what one can count on all the time. If 3/8" happen once in a (great) while, the largest ones may be over 1". Tell me what the largest groups are so I'll get the truth about that Howa's real accuracy level. Some rifles with clamped-in barrels that are not free floated do very well indeed accuracy wise. Consider the US military 7.62 NATO Garands and M14NMs that shoot no worse than 4 inches at 600 yards. They shoot 1/4 to1/3 inch at worst at 100 yards. All with non-lapped arsenal barrels using new commercial match ammo loaded with powder charges with a 1/3-grain weight spread. Then there's rail guns used by benchresters (and Sierra Bullets) to shoot very tiny groups. Their barrels are clamped in a foot-long metal block and the receiver's free floating in the air behind the barrel. Such rigs shoot sub 2/10ths" groups all day long with good bullets. [/QUOTE]
