Dead_eye, a sighting in a rifle isn't going to change it's group size at all. You're not going to take a 2MOA rifle that shoots 4" low and 6" right at 100yrds, sight it in and suddenly have a 1MOA rifle that's on target, you'll just have a 2MOA rifle that shoots on target. Sighting in just changes where the group is centered, it has absolutely NO effect on how well the rifle groups.

I apologize if this seems...harsh...at all, but we've had a LOT of new guys join lately, and while I'm glad to see the new blood in the forum, a lot of these guys are making stupid errors like this that get on my nerves...From now on, I'm going to help these new guys by pointing out THINGS THAT ALL SHOOTERS SHOULD KNOW in order to make them better, more knowledgable sportsmen.
