Yes - thats how I do mine!

One entry on it's way to you Rambo, great idea!

well done @flock i scored it 0.498 well in the lead

Great idea! My wife and I will give it a go. Will be interesting to see who shoots the best

flocks target again just relized last one was small

Dam - haven't got the 22s anymore - or the photos. Locked up in photobucket. My best four group averages at 50m (for non competition rifles) were 0.295" and 0.39". Unbelievably both were achieved with Marlin 60 semiautomatics. Sold one to R93 on the coast who went on to win competitions with it. Surprising where you find peak accuracy. No more however... eyesight not 100% these days.

Very nice shooting above - minute of bunny's eye. You might win a shoot-off with an occasional great group, but it is always continuous and consecutive group set accuracy that wins championships. I particularly like Flocks 0.49" average with Eley High Velocity ammo - that's a hunting round and will translate into excellent field accuracy.

Well done guys - looking forward to seeing more

This is definitely about consistency its a very Difficult job to shoot Five Consecutive good groups that’s the hole idea
Remember it’s all about the average group so a .6 isn’t going to kill you if the other 4 are Respectable flock has a .672 in there but his other groups make up for it and ends up scoring under .5

I'm still getting to grips with this a new rifle, so this comp is making me take some notes, had an Brno once, old Model 2 that shot the Aussy powerpoint lights out, again didn't take records.
Get into it .25 is achievable, enjoy having a play

What do you think of the 457 @flock
Had a couple of mates go out and buy the MTR but they were not happy with them infact one took his back
Apparently subsonic was leaving the muzzle supersonic (which for most people wouldn’t be the end of the world)
But hes a Professional pest control hunter and reliable subsonic loads with a suppressor is key to his work
On top of that he said the rounds were super tight to chamber like had to hammer the bolt home with your plam

Doesn't have a Match chamber, like the MTR so no chambering issues. Seems well made and should be for the price, added a trigger spring from Yodave, sorted the trigger out nicely. Cleaning with a 22 rod felt like the rod was binding, because it wasn't shooting as well as expected took the barrel off gave it a light JBs. Barrel removal system is good, looking at purchasing a hmr barrel into the future. Action with its shortened throw is a joy to use, recently removed tiny amounts of wood from the stock as the action wasn't sitting down on the pillar beds quite right, bedded the back recoil lug as it was floating around. Haven't tested the later stuff as yet and some decent ammo would help. Cheers

@Rush nice target handed in last night with his tikka t1x

Not applicable but a cherry picked group, using some old CCi standard, rest of the groups were degusting. Bit that got me is I adjusted scope forwards and forgot to tighten the back rings at the base. LOL

@flock imagine 5 more of them i run that one group over my software very quick and rough not carefully like i do with the entry's but it was 0.261
