Yeah, I know...it’s also a lightweight hunting rifle, this part of my question is, is this acceptable...
I guess I’m wanting to meet manufacturers claims of 1 inch, 3 shot group at 100m and I want to be able to do that reliably.
It may well be that 200gn projectiles are not conducive to being Moa in this rifle...I get that...I’m just testing / seeking knowledge.
Would any manufacturer mix inches and meters in the same statement? One-inch at 100m is well under 1MoA.
The only rifle I've ever bought with a 1moa Gtee is my Tikka and it hasn't lived up to that so far using premium ammo Do I care NO! as I know I will be able to get it to shoot better with some handloads and possibly a change of stock (which will be the first thing I do) then set about knocking up some handloads for it.
Funny thing is I shoot 3 shot groups with it and they average around 2" I guess but the first shot seems to be on the money for the first shot in each group so it will certainly get the job done in the paddock, not much good at the range which is fine as it's not a target rifle it's a hunting rifle so it's not that big a deal to me if it's not a "Tack Driver all day long" I don't need it to be, it just has to lob the first round where I want it and so far it's been able to do that.
Not sure what you are getting at re the 1moa at 100m?
