Group Pictures

[Styled]

This was a group of five when I was doing load development for a Cooper M52 which is "original" and not gone over by a gun smith. Not an off the shelf Sav-ington, but not a custom rig either. The larger of the Dots is around 1 inch, OnTarget has this group of 5 at .991inch/.316MOA.

Although the target says 300 yards I recently found out the range is actually 300 meters, not bad for a hunting rifle chambered in 25-06AI pushing a 115gr dart over 3300fps.

Thought it would be interesting to start a thread restricted to actual "group pictures." I propose that this thread be restricted to a picture of your SPORTER RIFLE with the best (100yd or M) 5 shot group you have ever shot. A SPORTER RIFLE will be defined (for the purpose of this thread), as one having a muzzle diameter of less than 0.70" and mounted in a traditional sporter style stock.

Then why have you posted it in the precision rifle forum? There is a hunting /sporting arms forum.

I'll play. 5 shots at 100m, factory 700p in 308, bedded in an a2 stock.

Ok, that's pretty good I guess.

Styled - very nice, and that mdel 52 has a pretty light barrel doesn't it?
Obtunded - I think it's obvious that these rifles are shooting like "precision sporters"...and certainly groups in the 1's,2's, and 3's fit the general description of "precision". So if you've got a precision sporter group, we'd love to see it!

Pakistan No4Mk2 Range Review

Not a sporter, but a full military 1908 Brazilian Mauser (shot with irons off the sandbags at 200 yards). Five-round group, (the high one at 12 o'clock was the first round, to confirm sighting). 7x57 Mauser, 139gr. Hornady Spire Points in front of H4895 IIRC.

BTW: JEC - I still have the Sako 75 Hunter in 6.5 x 55 you sold me a few years ago. It's a very consistent sub-MOA shooter.

Clarity on the internet. Almost as rare as honesty.

If I get the opportunity to put a 5 shot group in a 1000 yard black bear I will post the picture.

 

[A-zone]

This one's from a sporter, specifically, a Ruger Safari in .375 H&H. Again, shot from the bench, three shot group, POA is on the target's centre. 300 gr Hornady InterBond. Powder was bulk IMR 4064 from Higginson.

 

[LongBomber]

900 yards, 8.075"
300RUM, 200gr accubond 95gr Retumbo

First three shots from HS prohunter lite 325wsm, thoroughly cleaned between each shot.
Not bad for a rifle that is only 6.8 pounds, scoped and with a sling
