I mean come on. Can't a guy just get lucky and have a accurate out of the box rifle?Maybe its b/c some peoplepay $2,000 for a custom rifle then an avg. joe with say a Rem. 700 out of the box comes and outshoots them?All this fussing rather someone can shoot or not reminds me of the last day of deer season at my old club.

We would set up a milk jug filled with water out at about 300-350 yards and sit around and make bets on who could hit it first. If someone hit it on the first shot, we would put up another and the next person would go. Then we would have a shoot off b/t the people who hit itthe first shot. It was so funny that the guys that bragged so much couldn't come close. You could see their bullets hitting the dirt at 200 yards. I would look at them and say " Didn't you say that 9pt you killed was at 250yds?" LOL.

Out of our group the .270's were always the most accurate.The 7mm mags sure held the distance. I seen more 06' bullets bite that dust at 200yds than any other. At that time I was using 130gr Core Lockts and they dropped like bricks compared to the Win. BTs but even they stilll would hit the jug on the first shot. One guy even tried it with a 303 British oneday. That was amusing. 350yds may not sound like much if you live out in the grain belt or plains where you can out shoot a 300wsm. Most shots here in SC are under 100 yards so thats what most scopes are set at, so this made a fun challenge.

This has nothing to do with this thread, but hey, calling a guy a lier doesn't either. Just thought I would share my thoughts.
