Still pretty good for standing offhand though.
My youngest boy is 7.... his first three shots ever from an actual rifle were off of my lap this year shooting his rascal topped with a cricket scope..... target was a paper plate on a stick at 30 yards with a dot drawn on it with a sharpie....
I could have covered his 3 shot group with a nickel.....
My point, anyone can be good once with a bit of luck..... it’s repeatability and consistancy that are hard to find in both rifle and shooter...

Reminds me of when one of my closest buddies tried my open-sighted SKS @ 60 yards the day we were patterning our turkey guns. Put 3 rounds of non-corrosive Barnaul through that old Russian war-horse...all 3 shots touching on paper. I called him a few names, we all had a chuckle..and I've never seen anything like that since. Back to rimfire...
Other than a handful of trips to my farm "range" with the new Anschutz, shooting super-tight groups with a .22 has never really been a high priority. I want to know what a particular rifle can do in my hands...I want to know what ammo it prefers...but beyond that, they're mostly fun guns for me. Plinking, pigeons sometimes, gophers out west whenever possible (=the ultimate fun, .22 target)..etc. The competitive aspect of shooting~not really drawn to it, and while I know these can be fun threads/challenges...I tend to avoid them myself. I get the OPs intent, the spirit of the challenge....but I'm the weak link in my own accuracy, especially now. Ask anyone who has gone shooting with me.
Was the target shot offhand?
Don't think so. I was just playin. Sorry
A 3 shot group shot by an 11 year old that measured 0.83 c-c using a Remington 700 SPS SS in 243 Winchester.
At 300 yards... I am impressed.
I'd like to see your results with your Walther, even at the distance you find boring. They must be consistently sub-.250 with that rifle (post #58 https://www.canadiangunnutz.com/for...e-shot-22s?p=14461648&viewfull=1#post14461648)
It's to cold and windy outside but half the distance indoors I shot 5-25 shot groups. Only one was larger then 3/8" edge to edge. I realize it was indoors and only half the distance. Shot standing over a bench with only a bipod
I wasn't trying for a challenge but to see if my new mdt chassis did in fact improve my groups
It did
When spring comes I can't wait to try 100 yards

It was only 20
not good enough for alberta guy, methinks. But, here's what I couldn't post in the challenge thread, the results of my tuner testing. The row at setting 268 was a ###y run of all 0.2's or better and would have made for a fine challenge post on it's own, but because there are other groups on the page over 1/2".... DQ'd! Went through a bad zone on the tuner there, but after that the next 24 groups in a row were under 1/2" This is especially notable given that I was shooting many different tuner settings, I regret not taking better notes of the settings. The other target has 18 in a row, and a few more squirrely groups, going lower on the tuner didn't seem to be getting me anywhere by the end of the Center-X run. Three ammo's, a bunch of tuner settings, and only 2 groups over 1/2" at bad settings. Then you can go see the single ammo, single tuner setting page in the 1/2" challenge thread for 20 in a row. I think the gun was too fouled for best accuracy at this point, it really started kicking out fliers on the last two rows. 70 out of 74 groups shot under 1/2" while playing with the tuner and ammo. Will that do, alberta guy?

To the op come back and let us know when you have done the challenge you complain about. It's not luck. It's a fine tuned gun and ammo and a shooter whose on his game that day. Took me a few tries with a modded 1022
I have at least 3 rifles that I would trust to stay under ½" at 50 yards consistently....IF [BIG IF] the ammo was as consistent as the rifle is.
Even the highest quality rimfire ammo will on a rare occasion, have a round that is "weak", thus out of the group. Eagleye.

Well if luck is all it takes, I'd like to submit the best group ever with my 10/22. 5 shots at 50 yards under 3/8" with CCI Standard, but I've never been able to repeat it. I wish I could do that all the time, but it just isn't to be. The existing 1/2" 50 yards challenge has me beat so far, I should get a bit more serious about actually doing it.
