Are you talking about a scoring system? I'm confused. It seems as if even at 100m all holes are touching?

Sounds like you're getting good results with the Lithgow, Oldtimer. Good to see. :thumbsup:

Unfortunately, without knowing what he's shooting at or how many rounds he's shooting I have no idea what those scores mean.
It sounds like it's shooting extremely satisfactorily though :-)

I'm able to get sub-MoA out of my Ruger at 100m, but I'd probably need to put more than ten shots into a group to have them all touching.

Yep little confusing. Oldtimer are these 10 shot ISSF style scores? Also as Tomek asked; are you saying that it clovers tightly at 100m? If so, outdoors over a decent sample size, I've never seen the 101 lithy do that... although i've never seen one shoot at 100m indoors either... (if such a place even exists)
At what point does lack of maintenance become patina?
