Yeah, I know you did. I just had to confirm.Yes, I stated that.
Dime size group at 100 yards off hand is something else!

With any factory barrel it's a lottery as to how good a barrel one gets with the rig that's bought. It looks like you've hit the jackpot as those are some nice groups for a factory barrel. If you want to get to .5 MOA or better, it can be done by replacing that factory barrel with a nice high end one. I was lucky too when I got my RPR as it produced similar results as yours an after a while I decided to swap the barrel out for a Krieger barrel that brought my groups well under .5 MOA. . . like usually in the .3's with my hand loads (good optics helped too).It is a heavy barrel

I just want to know where is the limit with a factory set up
What I said was you had to shoot inside a dime to win. 1 shot. We did go to a 4 shot target where we paid 2 ways. Best score for the 4 shots and the best individual group. So with a 1 inch 10 ring there quit a few 39s and a few 40s every match. We travled all over Pa where ever we could find an offhand shoot or running deer shot. We often heard, We never saw guys shoot like you guys. More than once clubs quietly changed publicized shooting dates, lol.Yeah, I know you did. I just had to confirm.

Yet it's something olympic 22 shooters have been doing for decades and with peep sights too although quite specialised ones. Mastering the 1oz trigger is quite challenging too !Yeah, I know you did. I just had to confirm.

You should be able to get to quarter moa or less with your current setup - brass prep and seating next if you don't want to take the jump to the ectuner just yet - but I can highly recommend... if you have the standard threading on yours and you are in the Pretoria area - PM me and we can arrange something.It is a heavy barrel

I love practical shooting. While I was never close to being that good off hand, I shot some 3 position rimfire at Penn State in the late 60's then later at a club in western PA. It was a lot of fun even though I could barely make sharpshooter class.What I said was you had to shoot inside a dime to win. 1 shot. We did go to a 4 shot target where we paid 2 ways.

I shot for PSU in the mid 60s. I loved IMSA. 1 year I won the Pa State Championship in Standing big Bore, Standing revolver, and was on the way to a third and had a gun breakdown, did not get to finish that class. I have done a lot of different shooting and enjoyed most of it. A shooter by the name of Bill Zewe and I where battling in field pistol shooting ,38s and 39s every match while the hot shots in the far west were winning with 25 and 25. Bill shot a 40 and I hit 40 once but had center shoot on a pig nor fall on a muddy day. Shooter behind me hit it also, didn't fall, then they washed it and the rail. That was the last year I shot. I think Bill shot a couple more 40s before he switched to Cowboy Action matches. I really enjoyed our matches against each other, he is a fine gentleman.I love practical shooting.

I found my calling in bulls eye pistol shooting, being introduced to it at Fort Belvoir in the early 70's while in the Army. Fell in love with it and continued to compete into the 70 thru 90's reaching Distinguished Expert rating. Had to give it up due to elbow problem in the mid 90's. This was some of the best shooting experiences I ever enjoyed - the comradery of our pistol team made it special.
Also did a lot of hunter's pistol silhouette shooting in western PA in the 70's and 80's. This was a lot of fun. Manage to reach AAA rating with a Model 17, S&W revolver. Those were the great days of shooting for me
Thank You Doug for this bucket of honesty for the new shooters here looking for TRUTH! I've never seen any factory rifle do that every time!Ive got a 6.5 creed in a out of business montana rifle co. rifle and it likes the 142 smk and h4350 to the tune of .250 at 100 not every time but Ive gotta flinch just right. Doug
This is one of the problems with kids and firearms responsibility today. Especially when they become adults!I have only had commercial firearms. I went from 1971 to 2008 without firing a shot because the boss said no firearms in the house with kids. When the kids were gone I bought a Dick's Remngton 700 ADL Varmint in 223. Cheap plastic stock not free floated and the non adjustable version of the XMarkPro trigger.
Grouping is not accuracy, but precision.With .7" group at 100m (9 shots)
And 1.2" group at 300m (3 shots)
What would be a reasonable accuracy goal out of a factory rifle
