I have never taken photos of any target I have shot at, except the ones I put in the freezer.
As I have never felt the need to prove my accuracy to any one but myself.
Next time I go to the range I'll photograph the target just for you.
Well there you go. Your 742 was outside of that. To me anything over 1.5" is not reasonable. I know quite a few guys that this wouldn't be reasonable to also. At the same time I know guys that this would be fine to. So maybe when people ask about accuracy of certain guns maybe you should post what size groups you are getting like I do, so that they know what to expect. Not just telling them that they are accurate as it seems we all have a different opinion of what accurate is. I think that's the main problem. I'm sure some of us have rifles that are more accurate than others even of the same model, but more so, I think we all just have different expectations of what being accurate is.
