Well, I got a chance to sneak out and shoot a few groups with my "new to me" Anschutz 54 Match [Thanks, Diver] I hung a Leupold 6.5-20 EFR on it and did a sight-in. I fired 10 - 5 shot groups at 50 meters on a day when the wind gusted to 20+ kph. Still managed to see some very respectable groups.
I shot Eley Match EPS, Eley Tenex, RWS Match Rifle, Lapua Super Club and Lapua Midas M. The average groups size for the 10 groups was .29" I feel this is pretty good, considering conditions, with one group a big .68" and one at .35" (4 in .15") I shot my 40X also, but only three groups as a comparison in the wind. It averaged .28" for the 3 groups. My 504 HB fared a bit worse, but it has a heavier trigger, and is harder to "wish" the shot away at the right moment It's average for 3 - 5 shot groups was .38" If it had been calm, there would have been some very fine groups, I'm sure. Waiting for a calm day now to go to 100 & 200 meters. Regards, Eagleye.
