RE: accuracy of centerfire rifles.....be honest now
 

UT I have talked personally with a few. And every one of them tell me the same thing. Got there by being in the right place at the right time.

RE: accuracy of centerfire rifles.....be honest now
 

Well, I am one of those guys that were called out due to the accuracy of my shooting with my rifle. So here it is. I have a 700 Scendero in 7mm Rem Ultra Mag. I am sub MOA at 200 yards and MOA at 300. It depends on what kind of day I am having when I am shooting at 300 whether it is every time. I have high quality optics on my gun also.

And by the way....I can use the money. Anyone who wants to call me out...I live in Breaux Bridge, Louisiana and I have a range we can go shoot at....please bring your five bills.....

See Stone, it wasn't because of what you shoot but your history of the questions you ask. I mean on more than 3 occasions, I ahve tried to help you when you asked advise about "your unhappiness" with the accuracy of your RUM. And asked goodbeginner questions.So it makes it hard to believe all the sudden its a tack driver. But glad you finally have it dialed in.

I pray, you made it thru the hurricane pretty well and all your familyis well.

Ahhhh.....but if you were really reading wellbigcountryyour would have known that my rifle was shooting well before I started getting rounds reloaded for me and it took a while to get the reload that I was looking for. BUT you automatically decided that I couldn't shoot as well as the results that I was getting once I found the load. It may have been a misunderstanding on your part but isn't that the point of not calling someone out if you do not know them?????

As far as the huricane.....I made it fine....I was well west of ground zero and had only 60 mph winds.....but just remember guys what you are seeing on the news is only what they can put on the air. It is actuallymuch worst than what they are showing on the news......there is dead bodies floating all over in New Orleans....they have basically pushed them aside to get to the people that are still alive......Volunteer private boats are being brought into N.O. to help rescue. From the talk I am getting from four of our company boats that are there is that they are shifting from trying to save N.O. to just getting everyone out....the levees will not hold much longer and this is the actual reason they are getting the people out of the Super Dome and moving them to Houston.

The worst part is the looters are shooting guns at the rescue boats like they own the city now and they also have people that need to be rescued shooting at the rescuers because they are not getting to them fast enough....All of our boats are having to carry guns to protect themselves......It is not a good situation at all....and it will get worst.

Did anyone watch the Larry King last night? Goes to show you a dumb A$$ mayor....We are about to lose all of N.O. 80% or the houses and business' have been lost and they are losing more and more every min. When Larry King asked how long it would take for N.O. to get back to normal....his answer was 4 to 8 weeks.....LOL.....more like years.....there are parishs which in every other state are counties but they don't exist anymore.....Pray for everyoneit is going to get worst.

Wow, I can't believe all that is going on there. Goes to show ya guys, things can get bad at a moments notice. I work with alot of people from India, and they all the time quesiton when I would ever need to protect myself. Well, this shows.

As far as the other thing Stone, not exactly but no use in getting into it.

RE: accuracy of centerfire rifles.....be honest now
 

I believe that rifles out of the box today are more accurate than most people that shoot them.Why because most hunters don't even pick them up untill a couple weeks before hunting season.If you work with one and find the right loads that the individual rifle likes they will shoot close to moa or better.
I only have factory rifles and each one will shoot better than it takes to kill game.Why because I am at the range shooting one to three days a week,why because I love to shoot.
Example of practice,a fellow had me to mount a scope on his rem 270 this morning took it to the range and zeroed it in to 300 yds,will he shoot it before going hunting? I doubt it if so probably a 3 shot group at 100 yds.
I had one of my best days at the range this morning shooting 3 of my rifles,they are all factory rifles,the 260 has had nothing done to it except adjusting the triger,the savage 10 fp has had a bedding job because the heavy barrel would fall down in the fore arm when you laid it in a rest,the rem sps is a new one with trigger adjusted,trying to work up loads for.Took pics of the best groups to show (bragg ) could I repeat these I really don't know untill I try,but the .154 in group is the best group that I have shot in all my years of shooting at 300 yds.Hope it don't take me another 50 + years to get another one even twice that big.

Wow....No digs about his shooting or calling him a liar......man this is a first....good shooting Herman....the last time I posted about groups that were actually worst than yours they digged me saying I needed to be a competition shooter if my Sendero could shoot good 1" groups at 300 yards.

RE: accuracy of centerfire rifles.....be honest now
 

Well, carefully handloading a 223, 22-250, and 260 is pretty different than factory ammo out of a RUM. There's one thing in getting the occasional one hole group and doing every time at will is completely another. I have got groups like that too with my custom 300RUM, but I sure could'nt pull that off every time I go to the range which is what vapor was leading to I think. Thats the reason I wouldn't report that I could do it.

RE: accuracy of centerfire rifles.....be honest now
 

Have to agree with bigcountry,if I could do that on a consistant bases I would be hard to beat.But if anyone shoots enough and tunes his rifle up he is going to ocassionally get some tight groups.
I don't care anything about compition shooting I just shoot to pleasure myself.I go to the range to have fun and if I can I help others.And hope each of you have as much fun as I have.
And speaking of factory loads if you get the right ones they will shoot very good to.
A couple months ago a fellow liked the way my rem 30/06 shot talked me into tradeing it for a Browning stalker in 7 mag I had never seen it or shot it before but he said it would drive tacks using factory loads which I doubted untill I zeroed it in and shot the first 3-shot group with it.Think he was telling the truth.

RE: accuracy of centerfire rifles.....be honest now
 

Truer words were never spoken.I did shootone .080" group at 100 yards with one of my 300ultramagsbut my average group with that rifleis closer to 3/4" with my hunting loads.As such if someone asks how accuratethat rifle is,I will tell them 3/4" becauseI amsure that I can shoot a few consecutive3/4" groups to prove it to them.
