MC Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 On the contary fleabag winddrift alone would not allow a 1" group at the sort of distances you are talking about, even custom built benchrest rifles would struggle to acheive that. Let alone the average shooter with a mass produced rifle. I am not sure what you mean by poa either. An Anschutz target rifle in a jig at Eleys would srtuggle to acheive that kind of accuracy with their finest grade ammunition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fleabag Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 I can't see much point bragging to Martin about 'long-range' shooting with a .223, when he shoots 7.62x51mm at 1000 yards through open sights, at a County-level standard..... Amended my comment now, did not know that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chard Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 only 8000 Chard - you need more pracitce sonny, dont you dare go out and shoot live game with that gun untill you can do better Good enough for the US Marines. I was on secondment to them in the Vietnam War. If they needed a VC gooseberry de-hairing, they called for me Not a lot of people know that. Of course Hollywood got it all wrong. The well-known phrase "Gooks in the wire" was actually "Goosberry Trifle", the cry that went up when I wasted another Commie gooseberry. That Air Cav officer in Apocalypse Now that says "I love the smell of napalm in the morning" actually said " "I love the smell of gooseberry flan in the morning, after Chard's been in country with that GAT piece of his" Aaaah, memories Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An Anschutz target rifle in a jig at Eleys would srtuggle to acheive that kind of accuracy with their finest grade ammunition. I don't know where all the fuss is coming from I was chuffed that after spending a fortune trying different types of ammo i found one that works fine for me. if the wind is behind you and you range your target dial in to that target and it strikes where you aim IE (point of aim) then thats good so why all the disbelief i am merely stating and am willing to show any body on here that my rifle can group at the range stated. any one in Cornwall fancy seeing this to confirm my statement then please come along i will throw in a nights shooting as well.

tinbum71 Posted June 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 (edited) OK children calm down, Daddy's back! What a complete pack of girls, didn't come on for a day and I have 3 pages of abuse and yorkshire lad comments? I will let you know when BASC have come out/ the situation has been resolved. In the meantime, keep taking the hormones, you're starting to sound stale! Edited June 17, 2008 by tinbum71 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon R Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 Tinbum - you throw a large pebble in the water and seem surprised by the ripple. Perhaps you need to calm down. At the end of the saga it will be nice to know if you are an innocent victim or a glory seeker - jury is out. I sincerely hope you are an innocent victim.
