Default RE: Real Men shoot .30 cal or bigger!

ORIGINAL: doubleA

Stubblejumper, I think tiny groups are to beexpected with a rifle that is more or less built with premium componets such as McMillan /HS stocks, tuned actions, triggers, Lilja/Hart/Krieger/Shilen barrels etc etc. regardless of caliber. That's kinda like taking candy away from a baby when you have some joe smoe shooting his wally mart special against a finely tuned rifle such as yours

With that said here some groups shot in the same session with a pure stock Ruger #1 in 416 Rigby . I know there are more accurate rifles chambered in the ol Rigbyand shooters better than myself, but I am sorta proud ofthe way the rifle handles off the bench. Oh..... and the recoil rocks my world[8D][8D][8D] Something about settling the 1st plane 4A reticle set at 6X on the bull and knowing good an well you are going to get smacked just tickles me..... The bottom left group blew my sub 1/2" average[:'(]


Great shooting doubleA!! I have a Ruger #1 in .204 that is only a 1'' to 1 1/2'' gun at a 100 yds..Too heavy of trigger. I used to think your quote was right till I bought Savages.
