My Lithgow 101

That target looks pretty good. Not bad at all for the distance. Many of the shots are clean in the inner circle. Of course at 25 yards/meters, most ammo does well.
How does it shoot at longer distances?

I own two. A Lithgow LA101 17HMR with a black barrel and action in a Walnut stock. It shoots sub MOA at 200 yards all day. I also own a Lithgow LA102 .308 with Black Barrel and action in an MDT ESS Chassis and it shoots sub moa out to 500 yards without a sweat. Both are tack drivers

The day has arrived , I don't shoot my Lithgow enough/at all
therefore I traded it.
If I'm not going to shoot a rifle it might as well be a
1 of 1000 CZ 452 Farewell Edition that has never been shot.
It fits well with the other CZ's.
Glad to see the 101 go to a user home .

The smallest group that it can shoot at 50 yards is not the appropriate test of accuracy for any rifle.
Why? That could easily be the result a happy circumstance, a random act of accuracy. Any decent rifle with decent ammo can shoot one really small group among others that are not so small.
Here's a first group on a target, shot with a CZ 452 sporter of the same design as skwerl's new rifle that replaces his Lithgow. At under .200", it is very promising. But, despite being the smallest group on the target, it's not the best test to judge the rifle's accuracy. The next group was quite different.
The target showing five groups tells more of the story. While the next best group is still good at under .300" the inconsistency of the others shows that one good group is relatively meaningless. In fact, 25 shots can't tell a very complete story about the rifles accuracy any more than a single inning pitched can tell much that's conclusive about a pitcher over the course of a game or a season.

This gent speaks the truth, so listen carefully. Dave.
