Seen a lot of people claim their hunting rifle (Tikka/Savage/Howa whatever) is a 1/4 minute gun... not seen anyone outside of Olympic .22 being able to hold a rifle that steady (that wasn't locked in a shooting rest/vise), so how can you claim to have a rifle+ammo setup that shoots within that?

not to mention that 3 round groups mean zilch... benchrest is 5 or 10 shot groups.

Not many can shoot at that level but it’s fun trying.
