Maggie’s Most Ridiculous Accuracy Claim You have Seen

Re: Most Ridiculous Accuracy Claim You have Seen

A friend who should know better said recently he was dying to get a Savage in .17 HMR because it was a flat shooting round out to a mile.

Ummmmmm...yeah.

Re: Most Ridiculous Accuracy Claim You have Seen

Something like this...

"Yea I used to shoot the ears off of jackrabbits out to 500 yards, off hand with a 4x scope on a 243".

Same guy, same outfit, the following year he couldn't hit a standing deer at 200 yards!

Re: Most Ridiculous Accuracy Claim You have Seen

I had a guy tell me that he shoots 1200 yards with an M1A, standing and he holds 1/2" groups. That same guy also said he shoots ground hogs at 1000 yards with a .22 LR rimfire single shot "sears and robuck" with a 4x tasco scope.

Re: Most Ridiculous Accuracy Claim You have Seen

after looking at my modified 10/22, a gentleman told me he hunts
pheasants and quail on his own property with a 22 and gets them
all with headshots on the fly so as not to ruin any meat!!
he does give partial credit to his singleshot bolt 22 Win. 'cause
they had special steel back then that can no longer be duplicated
----go figure

Re: Most Ridiculous Accuracy Claim You have Seen

I was at my local range the other day, and there was a guy there with his hi-point 9mm Carbine that was telling people how he uses it to to shoot deer on his property at 400 yards...... I had to leave. LOL

Re: Most Ridiculous Accuracy Claim You have Seen

So, I'm at my favorite gun counter with a friend looking at pistols, my friend asks about the Walther P22. I had one, so I tell him it's a cute little .22, fun to shoot at tin cans, but not terribly accurate (and has a kind of tough trigger).... A little fat dude with Coke lens glasses butts in and says it's as good as any target pistol, and he can shoot a squirrel in the eye at 25 yards with his.... I laughed so hard I almost pissed my pants.

Re: Most Ridiculous Accuracy Claim You have Seen

not accuracy claim, but total ignorance...i had a guy tell me today that he has a "korea style 30-06" rife chambered in 30-30 or something like that and that it will really reach out and touch somethin. but if he really wants to be accurate, he gets out his open sight mini14

You seem to be cheating that by quite a bit. You measure where the bullet marked the paper to, not just the hole.

 

[savage110]

Re: Most Ridiculous Accuracy Claim You have Seen

Thats exactly where I measured, you can call BS if you want, I dont really care.
Edit: please explain to me where you see only the hole, the paper edges are there bud.

You are only measuring the missing paper. Not the entire width of the holes. Everything, including the dark marks that happen to be the exact size of a round have to be included.

Your picture (the one you posted to prove everything) shows that you don't know how to measure a group and also that you didn't get a .055moa group. If you really want to prove it, put the picture of the target without your caliper covering the holes and I'll put it though a computerized target measuring system. Then you'll have real numbers, and will have to have only shot three into maybe "the teens".

The truth is you made an exagerrated claim and being very obnoxious trying defend it. You make a useless attempts to save face by calling folks names.

Looks like we're back to the <span style="font-weight: bold">"given 25 rounds, can you shoot five 5 shot groups on a single target that all measure 1/10 moa or less"?
If not, your rifle <span style="text-decoration: underline">does not shoot 1/10 moa easy</span>-period.</span>


Yours is still the most ridiculous accuracy claim I have ever seen. Even benchresters do not tout that kind of accuracy unless it can be done in an aggregate consistently. A one time "screamer group" is not indicative of anything. My 308 has shot 1/3moa 3 shot groups in competition at 500 and 600 yards under stressed time constraints, but at best I say it shoots "sub-moa" (I barely stayed out of the bottom 25% in that match, because there's more to it than that).

Hopefully you will quit being defensive and learn that this isn't a schoolyard. You have put many people off (online and in person) in this state with your attempts to be accepted.

I hope you can learn some humility, and the value of underpromising and over delivering. At least learn when to quit digging when you are in a hole.

I keep "giving you shit" because you are young and probably have the potential to be an asset to the shooting community, but you need to learn to walk before you can run.

[Rancid Coolaid]

Re: Most Ridiculous Accuracy Claim You have Seen

A single 3-shot group does not a "shoots 1/10MOA or better - easy" gun make.

A blind idiot with a lousy-ass rifle has a non-zero probability of putting a very small group on paper at 100 yards - if anything, Savage may prove that.

One 3-shot group is the measure of the gun and the shooter: I find that very telling, and somewhat amusing.

I bet taking that target to your junior high dance got you lots of ass.

This clown demonstrates why a DD2144 or department letterhead at registration would be a nice way to flush the proverbial bowl.

[TimK]

Re: Most Ridiculous Accuracy Claim You have Seen

I'll point us back in the right direction.

Not an accuracy claim, but almost as stupid. I met an older gentleman at a supplier the other day. When the talk around the service counter turned to guns, he told me he has a .22-250 he uses to shoot pdogs. Claimed the 50g bullet was going 5,000 fps at 450 yards, the range he typically shoots. I called BS on the velocity, and bet him $1,000 he wasn't breaking 4,000 fps at the muzzle. To his credit, he admitted he probably had the numbers mixed up. I was going to jump him on the 450 yard range by asking him his dope, but decided he was a pretty nice guy and didn't need me being a butthead. Besides, for all I know, he might actually be shooting dogs at 450.

Its quite simple. YOUR photo shows you holding the caliper inside the marks that the bullets made going through the paper. There for, you are not measuring the entire diameter of the group. Its also laughable that you expect anyone to believe you when you say you can't put your hands on something that is what would be considered damn fine shooting by bench rest standards. Thinking about it makes me wonder if you really believe your self and don't know any better or do you just need a new set of glasses? Picture added for the sake of argument. Make up you own mind. Fact of the matter is, you can't repeat it or you would, right? Answer yes now!... So do it...

Saying this to maybe pad the ego of said AceSn1per (photobucket name), It is a great group. It is something to be very proud of, and yes YOU and your RIFLE did manage a seemingly improbable shot(s), But, its 3 shots, not 5. What we can see of the target next to it (while still very good) does not fall into the 1/10th MOA "Easy" claim.

As far as "dumping clovers", with 3 shots fired it happens about half the time I shoot at 100yds. Its those damn pesky fourth and fifth shots that always get a wild hair up there arse and go astray. I have a few 5 shot groups in the .17 range, but by no means do I claim my rifle or I can replicate even twice that on demand. I'm happy to be hitting 1/2 moa at 100 and 1moa at 600.

SO... to the AceSn1per, feel good about the fact that your not a bad shot. You managed a great 3 shot group, But don't come on a site dedicated to long range precision tactical rifle shooting and profess something that isn't so. Men and a few Women on here know where the truth lies. Don't act like you getting one over on anyone.

Some people have to be right. I am sorry but its not one group, beside me Im looking at a handful of groups that are in the .0XX, .1's, and low .2's, some 3 some 5 shot.
Im done, I guess you just cant win em all, and Im guessing you have to win this one to sleep well tonight.
Im done replying to this thread, like another poster said, I just wasted x amount of minutes reading this shit and that time could have been used on something productive.

Edit: to respond to the bolded part; I was doing ladder testing and it was witnessed by 2 hide sponsors, theres a reason that groups bigger, it was a different powder charge.

Re: Most Ridiculous Accuracy Claim You have Seen

Some guy told me he killed 3 hogs with one shot..using a 243. Claimed the last one was killed by the bone fragments from the 2nd. I didn't say anything since I didn't care for the guy too much its better to let idiots go on to being idiots, gives us normal folks something to laugh at.

Re: Most Ridiculous Accuracy Claim You have Seen

This has to be one of the most enjoyable threads on the Hide for me. After nearly 45 years of shooting and being around some damn fine shooters and the tales we've heard occasionally there is a few that are true which would be deemed impossible if it wasn't witnessed.

I'm sure we all have made that impossible shot with a BB gun long ago at some incredible distance or shooting a bird out of flight or lobbing a lil 22lr round across a big hollow and hitting a rock ya can barely see.

Some people just can't judge distances and that incredible shot keeps getting farther each time the tale gets told. Others like those that come into gun shops or brag at work like to be part of the "group" even if they have no idea everyone knows what they are sharing is beyond impossible.

That fella with the nice 3 shot group, that is a good group and one to be proud of. I'm not a group shooter myself but do love to ring steel farther than most people think my lil plinker will go. I guess I'm easier on other shooters than most, I'll listen to their tales and even if I know it was either one of the most incredibly lucky shots ever done or he may be a world class shooter but I won't insult them while they're telling it.

Great thread, very fun to read but we should enjoy it for just that, entertainment and try not to personally insult anyone wishing to join in and share one of their good days at the range.
