[QUOTE="Paladin300, post: 2976808, member: 115299"] This group is from a light weight hunting set up with a 16 inch barrel. Rifle weighs just under 8 lbs. I want to use it to show a cold barrel versus a hot one. These shots were all fired in succession over about 2-3 minutes from a cold barrel start. They were the first shots of the day. The square is a one inch square with a 1/2 center. The cold bore shot is low right. The second shot is high left. The next four are together in the center. As the barrel heated the POI shifted ever so slightly until it settled. Happens every time with a lite weight barrel. This is not a scope issue. Again add in all the other dynamics and you could see how an inexperienced shooter or one with poor technique could see a fairly large shift in POI from one range session to the next. If they change scopes and their groups tighten up somewhat? Does the scope add weight? Weight to some degree translates into accuracy. By the way this was a rifle and scope combination another shooter said he couldn't get to hold a 2" group. Just another point to be made.[ATTACH type="full" alt="D6A4ED57-CB7D-4C1E-BE3D-03055810D325.jpeg"]522286[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
