He said he put his group inside the other guy's group.
he does know how to shoot!


Looks like the two middle shots are from a different rifle.........But that's just me.

Number 1-4 with 1 being on the top.

1 and 3 look different than 2 and 4.


funny comment!

Yes, that gun can drive tacks!

Nuts, I feel like I'm late to the party! Somebody already beat me to the hammer picture so I thought about using a finish nailer. :chuckle:

In the official Box Monkey Lexicon (AKA the list of words I've "adjusted" the meaning of to suite my needs  ;)) a "tack driver" is defined as whatever gun I'm trying to sell at the moment. :tup: Example: "This well used Model 94 in 32 Win Special is a lights out, tack driver! It's easily capable of hitting a reasonably sized target at an appropriate range."

In reality, I take the caliber and configuration of the gun into consideration. A custom gun in a mid sized caliber (anything 308 to 30-06 case sized) that shoots larger than .5 MOA (with a good shooter) is a waste of metal and money. A factory gun in the same caliber that will hold between .5 and .75 MOA is good shooter. A rifle chambered for a cartridge burning over 70 grains of powder which can hold better than .5 MOA beyond 500 yards is a tack driver. Any dedicated target gun in a small caliber (under 308 case sized) which can't shoot .3 MOA or better is a tack driving varmint gun, but a worthless target gun. A varmint gun in the same caliber which holds better than .3 MOA at an appropriate range for the caliber is worthy of being called a target gun.

For an example, I had a factory Savage LRPV in 22-250. This rifle was an honest sub .25 MOA rifle (5 shot groups) and on a good day I could run it in the .1 MOA range. This is a full on tack driver of a varmint rifle and it could keep up with most dedicated short range BR guns. I put together a 6mm BR which could hold .3 MOA. This was a tack driver for a varmint rifle, but mediocre as a target gun.

Big bore tack drivers are a little easier to find just because so many of the bigger guns out there are custom/semi custom jobs. I currently have 5 which can hold .5 MOA or better as far as I've shot them. They're all semi custom (aftermarket barrel or more). Most of them are capable of groups in the .3 MOA range (this includes a Striker in 338/375 Ruger), but that's for 3 shots. I don't shoot a lot of 5 shot groups with the RUM sized cases. That get's expensive and it's pretty hard on the barrel!

Tack driver is any rifle until you say lets go to the range and place a bet on it.

Or your at 4000ft plus with a pack on your back, breathing hard from getting into position to take a shot at some azz backwards angle on a animal that's hell bent not to take one for the team.

Your wrong.
Very nice shooting,Question how well does it shoot at say 200 yards without redialing it in?
You must first be honest with yourself,Until then your just lying to everyone.

Not sure what you are asking.
The rifle is capable of .1MIL from point blank to the limit of it's effective range, about 1250 yards.
To answer some of the other post,
It's my go to rifle that I use for tactical matches, big game hunting, coyotes, rock chucks, banging steel, and when I teach a novice shooter about rifles.    I have shot so many ~ .1MIL groups I don't even bother taking pictures of them anymore unless there is some anomaly.

LOVE the hammer pic!!!

anywho, this is the only pic I have at the moment of my "nail driver" it's not a tack driver as the operator has a tendency to pull his shots.

this is from my little 270 shooting 130 grain Winchester ballistic silvertips at 100 yards. This is off of a bipod.

It seems most tack drivers are the guy shooting the gun. I think most factory guns will outshoot most operators.  :chuckle:
i know we have some great shooters on this site and not saying they arent but the majority of the hunting public couldnt shoot a .3 moa shooter better than a 2 moa shooter.
