So did I miss where everyone is actually planning on going shooting or did we decide to just let this post drop????

I still plan on it, but it will be a few weeks before I am at the 200 yard range I go to.

Show up, Put Up or Shut Up...

I have a question about scoring. Are we taking accuracy AND precision into consideration? I just opine that you can't have a real shooting contest among hunting rifles unless you do.

Well I know it isnt within the restraints of the braggin rights contest, but went down to the ranch this weekend to fill feed and get in one last hunt and figured what the heck, im going to shoot at 200 and see what hapens! Not a great group, but the first time I have shot at 200 i was happy. Rested off of a mesquite log while sittin on the ground. Measures 2.7 inches from top edge to bottom edge. Shootin a 270 win in a Rem 700 sendero and 150 grain hornady interlocks.



There for what it is worth.

signing up a shooting buddy tonite.. so i can have a witness.. i am in.. but the groups by banger and jeffbird are gonna be hell to match much less beat.. what caliber and rifle info for jeffbird posts.. nice group..

Looking at the jeffbird's notes, he is using a AI AW (Accuracy International Artic Warfare) chambered in 308 Win.

Banger has it right, and nice shooting to you too Banger.

Thank you and good luck to everyone.

If you really want to see which gun "Remington or Savage" is the most accurate....use your individual data to find out who is the best shot and then have that person shoot all the rifles!

Might should put a qualifier in that the person doing the shooting cannot own the type rifle he is shooting.

Just food for thought!!

I am the only person I know that actually puts them side by side and see's instant results. Case in point, these were shot back to back at 210 yards. A FNH SPR, Savage 10 and Rem SPS. At the end of the day anyone of these can come out on top, it's really a coin toss and a moot point.

Banger,

Good looking bunch of stuff there and definitely some shooters..

You are so right.....but it sure is fun messin' with people! I've never had an Elk or Deer get up and complain because my shot was 1/4" high ,or give me any stuff about what kinda rifle I was shooting.

Let's see what else I can think of.....
OK how bout this .... we got to separate them all by caliber 22's, 25's, 27's, 28's........30's single, lever, bolt, auto, mags, ford, chevy, dodge, glasses, contacts, age etc...

I will say the idea of getting a bunch of guys together to shoot is interesting though!
Keep Them Targets Comin'.......... OK OK ..... I'm leaving !!!

Y'all some shootin'....uuhhh....dudes. Good job gentlemen.

Dang Banger, sweet rifles!

Just to give y'all a little something to shoot for.

Obviously impressive, but it's a different game altogether. That is an obviously great group, but it is a foot from the bullseye. For hunting, putting it on the bullseye is of paramount importance.

Your challenge here is a good one for folks using their real hunting gear. Wish more would go out and give it a go. It's as fun as it can be frustrating, but it is fun.

Story is he has close to 30,000 dollars invested in that group.

Excuse my ignorance but I have a question. Are yall measuring best group as it relates to the bulls eye on a target or just the best group regardless of where it prints on paper?

I still would like to do the ONE SHOT contest, one shot, from a clean cold bore.... that's the test..

I'm in on this. I'm a very novice shooter, w/ a very entry level rifle. Sami will be my witness, and I can get Tanner to also be my witness.

I wish I had a range close enough that went to 200, good luck to all competeing.

Everybody remember it needs to be witnessed and signed by another member.

Best group I not resighting my rifle.

I don't see myself beating those awesome groups on the 3rd page,but i want to see how well I can shoot.
