Now THAT'S accurate!

" Despite the enclosed target showing 3-rounds in about 5/8ths of an inch at one hundred yards, the rifle had not been chambered."

This, for you guys with the hots for your test targets.

It appears the test target was a fraud. Not the first one, either.

Yes, but which target, from which rifle, from which manufacturer? Your post doesn't seem to contain a link, or any additional info on where I could find out what you are actually talking about. Just a line in quotations with no citation. Is it an inside joke?

I'm not pointing fingers here, so yes it is a joke (if it weren't true, and the second time I've heard of such a thing).

So you're quoting someone, but won't tell who it is, or what they're talking about? Super helpful...

Accuracy vs. precision:

Most "gunnies" get it wrong. Group size is precision. Closest to the aim point, i.e. score, is accuracy.
