Wife and I did guided hunt recently. Wife shoots a Tikka in 270.
I shot said rifle to check zero at 200 yards. This is off a bipod prone. Not a benchrest. It was hotter than hell. Mirage was a challenge. Shot a SCREAMER 3 shot group that was about .25" at 200 yards (I know BSA is gonna tell me how only 10 shot groups count. But let's not get into the weeds yet.....).
Now.....this rifle is accurate. But it sure as hell aint that accurate. Usually~ 5/8" at 100 yards. I expect all shots to stay inside a 1.5" dot all day long at 200 yards.
Needless to say, I was happily surprised with the tiny cluster of bullets.
Guide looked at group as says "Well, if there's a miss, it aint the guns fault".
Here's the dilemma- Should I just act like Joe Cool, and pretend I can do that on command?
