[QUOTE="Teri Anne, post: 2740770, member: 118816"] Like most others I do not have a range out my back door so shooting one shot a day is way beyond a pain in the butt. I also shoot and practice a lot for competition, mostly across the National Match Course which involves continuous slow fire as well as rapid fire shooting. One shot out of a cold barrel is not something that works for me, as well as many others. Whether one wants to believe it or not, a good rifle will shoot 5 shots in 50 to 70 seconds and hold a 1 MOA group or maybe a bit less. The question is, "What is a good rifle?" Just about all manufacturers make rifles that are capable of 1 MOA with the proper amount of attention to detail. Most rifles come off of a production line and are touched by any variety of people and machinery along their way out the door as a finished rifle. With many there are either defects in materials or workmanship that will affect how it shoots. Quality control between manufacturers varies. I like tinkering. I buy rifles both new and used then work on making them accurate. I do this by checking and seeing what the manufacturer missed or messed up when putting it together and correcting them. This can be either simple or a long and involved process which I won't discuss here. If anyone is interested PM me and I will gladly explain how I go about this to you. By the way, those of you that cherish that one cold barrel shot somewhere along the way should probably check to see what happens on the second or third shot, just in case you miss on that first one. The results could be interesting. [/QUOTE]
