[QUOTE="memtb, post: 1600319, member: 75451"] I see that some seem to think that bigger caliber, harder kicking rifles come with a sacrifice of accuracy. While I’m sure that there are much more accurate rifles than ours and much better riflemen than me, for sub 9 pound “sporter weight” rifles ( my wife’s is box stock) I think they do pretty well. Mine is generally 2” or a little under @ 300, her’s is generally around 2 1/2” @ 300....both with 3 shot groups. Prior to past hunting season, I verified the 300 yard zeros on both rifles, only firing two rounds.mine was a bit off, so I made a small adjustment. My wife’s was close, so I just dropped it 2 clicks. The photo, is of my 2nd two shots after adjustment, and shows the wife’s 1st 2 shots. Her 2 shots are about 1 7/8” Center to Center, mine about 1/2” Center to Center. My first 2 shots (prior to adjustment) was just over an inch. I don’t generally take a photo of our targets....but I was kinda proud of those two shots! memtb [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/mU6iZZ6l.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
