What would people think if I changed it to 1" at 100 yards, BUT! changed the rule so that the rifle had to be 100% stock. No bedding, no aftermarket triggers. Absolutely 100% factory (except maybe a paint job because mine is painted). If the factory trigger allows the trigger to be adjusted that would be fine but otherwise no trigger jobs. I am only thinking now. Let me know what you think.
Thanks rnbra-shooter. It was quite exciting for me to see the improvement a bedding job made on that rifle. The best 3 shot group I could manage with it before was about 1.75 - 2 MOA. I'll be giving the challenge a go in the (hopefully) near future.
I 'used to be' a TR shooter too. Sailing has since taken over my summers. Haven't competed since '91 or '92...
Keep the original rules. Hence, the title of your thread.What would people think if I changed it to 1" at 100 yards, BUT! changed the rule so that the rifle had to be 100% stock.

The rules will remain unchanged. While .75" might be to tough for lots of people, if I changed the rules it would be less of a challenge. There are many rifles out there capable of this.
Oh, I think the 260 would be ruled by neutral panel to have completed the challenge.Actually no one has completed this challenge yet. Some close calls, but nothing successful yet.

At least we thought there were judging by the posts over the years.![]()

I tried again today and failed. I keep getting one group over .75".
Here is my rifle. It is a Tikka T3 lite 30/06 using 185gr Berger VLD Hunting bullets with IMR 4064 powder.
Nice try UTG.
Is that a cooler on the bench to keep your ammo from cooling down too fast?
Not at all. The gun range (Medicine Hat) is closed, however for a very good reason. A berm is being built-up between the 100 meter and 200-300 meter shooting distances. Moreover, my wife and I are baby-sitting our grandaughter for the next week while my daughter and son-in-law bask in the Mexico sun..................family is more important (comes first) than anything else.I suspect that the lack of attempts is due to the weather.
