What's an acceptable 3 shot Grouping to you??

[JackOfAllTrades]

10 shots. 65+yds.  It could have been me, but I blame the flier on the wind.  Yes, I demand that out of that rimfire rifle.  Packin it in the woods is a bitch though.. Weighs 13.5 pounds.

I like shooting the critters. Not holes in paper targets.

3 shots with a one inch grouping at 100 yards is just fine for me.

I like both.

1 1/2'' will work. My guns shoot better than that which is a bonus. Most guns these days shoot better than the folks shootin em. Like Ray, I too would rather shoot meat than paper, though I'm getting back into it now I have my bench/range built..

this works for me. TIKKA the heavy lines are 1 inch apart.  5 rounds/100

i enjoy shooting in general. i like that i have a rifle that shoots a 1" group if i do my part. a guy who's good with a rifle could sit in behind my shooter and do better than me most likely. accurate rifles are neat.

a guy that can shoot .25 or .5 off a bench is gifted. most guys can't shoot under 1" i know i can't but i know my rifle can.
if i put it in a vise thats a different story, but thats a great way to get sighted in too.

bugholes at 50-60 with the rimfire is a hoot, i could do that all day.
the shooting part i mean, not sure about the bug holes but it's fun trying.

Sounds good to me. Not knockin' anyone. I prefer to shoot archery a lot more when it comes down to launching things down range. Nothing like flinging objects from a string.

This is a group my 257 shot, 5 shots at 100. Not too shabby for a Ultra Light factory rifle, shooting factory fodder....

[257 Wby Mag]

Yes, its in a frame. grin...

what the whole on the bottom right is that a flyer lol just messin that is a great group

I know a 12yr old gurl that can out shoot most of us.  She shoots better than 5", 20 shot groups at 500yds from the prone position.

Most of you can't even get into the prone position.

-and yes, she's also a hunter. Accuracy to her is, well... pretty important. As a competitor and as a hunter.

Right now my rifle is averaging about 1 1/2 inch groups at 100 yards. Which I know is probably fine for hunting, just something about sub MOA that is bugging me I guess. These are with federal premium Nosler accubonds, and for some reason the rifle likes to either string shots (a line of shots that gets lower as the barrel gets hotter) or it will really piss you off and you'll get the first shot right where your aiming, 2nd shot is 1 1/4 inches off and the 3rd shot is touching the first one!

I haven't had the chance to try any other bullets in my rifle, partly because I'm too cheap to go out and drop 40-50 bucks on a box of bullets that might only shoot a 2 inch group outta my gun. Someday I'll try something different.

Then buy a box of Remington CoreLokts and be done with it!

Sounds like you've got a stock/action fit issue. Stringing with warm barrel shots is one thing. 'Consistant flyers' are something else.
