I have read through the whole "My 22 shoots 1/2" groups at 50 yards/meters all day! Really? Prove it!" Thread. IMO That is not a true reality of what your guns shoots. I think you should have to put up a 25 group page or two pages for 50 groups. With My savage MKll BV I have gotten lucky and shot a 5 group 1/2" group challenge. But in reality the gun on average generally shoots 5/8 to 3/4 groups. With Eley Sport. When searching the internet it seems about what the gun should do. I shoot 25 group pages and have averaged it out over 200 groups. All shot on the same afternoon. There was the one row where i got lucky and it averaged under 1/2" So 2.5% or 1 of 40 of the 5 group tries was under 1/2". But that does not mean its an 1/2" shooting group gun.
So how about a real challenge?

alberta guy;
I am going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that you are not being intentionally insulting to those members who have successfully completed the challenge. However, to assert that completing the challenge is merely a matter of luck is absurd. Lets take our esteemed member grauhanen for example ; by my count he has completed the challenge successfully 25 times. Did he just get lucky 25 times? Do you really think he shot a total of 625 lucky rounds that all met the 1/2" group size criteria - I think it is safe to say that there was some skill involved in this accomplishment and that the rifles and ammo used were also up to the task.
I notice that your name does not appear on the following list:

Ryan "savagecanuck" was really passionate about restoring and shooting older "classic" .22 target rifles. Every time I saw him he would be excited to tell me about his latest acquisition. He sold me his MPR in April to finance some new purchases.
We did not lose him I hope. You're talking about him in the past tense.
