[QUOTE="memtb, post: 1600211, member: 75451"] I noticed that some folks think that bigger bore or heavy recoil rifles can’t be shooters. I’m by no means a great shooter, but if I can’t shoot sub moa at 300 yards...I’m having a bad day. Occasionally, I can get a 3 shot group under 2”. This past fall I was checking the 300 yard zeros on my wife’s .338 WM(box stock) and my .375 AI. I was only shooting 2 shots to verify and then adjust if necessary. My wife’s rifle has never been a tack-driver, generally around 1.25 moa (3 shots) at 100 yards, my rifle generally a bit under an inch at 100 yards. Though, both seem to do a little better at 300. In the photo, the 2 shots to the left are from her rifle, the 2 to the right are from mine, after an adjustment. Not shown are my first 2 shots, just over 1” center to center. The shots shown were well under 1” center to center. Neither rifle are braked, and won’t be! So, bigger calibers in “sporter weight” rifles are fully capable of good accuracy....when the shooter does his/her part! memtb [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/QDBsUTSl.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
