Thread: Accuracy at 100 vs 600 (example). Variations in accuracy at different ranges

agreed.....the point I was trying to make is that the rifle can only shoot as good as you make it.....a really gusty or howling windy day is another...its the only day you have to sight in before going away....if you calling your "wobbles 2" and you get a 2" group close to where it should be....well chances are you will be fine.
many many rifles are checked over bonnet of car at a inch thick cross drawn on bum of pizza box ...hardly the ideal set up and to expect sub moa is pushing it a bit.
make the cross 1/4" thick and go into damped prone at least and results will be far better.
one of the tightest groups I have ever shot with my old poohseventy was checking sights at 200 yards on deerstalkers range at pleasant point...only had a hundred yard target and a 4x scope....damped prone over a bed roll and surprised the heck out of myself with 3/4".........one of those fluke groups mentioned earlier,combined with having to really concentrate hard on centring target.
