groups

If my rifle is shooting .75" from a field position I'm pretty happy......The bench is for sighting in......(my varmint rifles)

In all seriousness I think any shooter that can routinely shoot 1 moa from field positions is shooting pretty well.

For my rifles, from the bench I hope to see between a .5-.7 3 shot group. If it’s a heavier rifle it’s nice to see below .5

My Varmint guns revolve around coyote hunting though so prairie dog guys might be looking for more.

In all my testing of BR & Open F class rifles.... your group will never get any smaller after your 2nd shot. Now that's a fact!

I expect my 22 caliber Varmint guns to shoot 9 shot groups that leaves one hole measuring .197 outside to outside.

They also need to be able to hit a coyote toe claw in the middle at 624 yards, measured of course by laser. The coyote needs to weigh no more than 30 pounds though, otherwise the toe claw gets too big thus destroying my accuracy measurement.

If they don’t do this I throw them to the peasants.

All day long! If he does his part.

Kind of funny some talked of “one hole” and .1-.3” groups. They are talking Benchrest competition rifles maybe. Oh so many luck intonanfenshots close, cut it that target group and save it to show off. “My gun shoots all shots into one hole”.

I asked a guy like that to show me at the range. He showed up. Barely hit the targets at 200 yards and then started n the excuses.

If you are gonna hit at say 400 yards, it would be nice to group 1 MOA (1” appx.) or less with three shots from cold. That level of accuracy and experience to do hold-overs will get you lots of kills if you can hold steady enough in the field.

Varmint rifle .1 -.2" groups you could win bench matches against some of the best shooters in the county with $5000 rifles and $3000 scopes.

It does not matter how good I shoot on the bench or just screwing around at random range targets. As soon as a whitetail is my intended target I get the Elmer Fudd shakes.
