essentially a gun porn vanity, but it's a good review of how to use a scoped rifle to actually hit what you want to.

[Blueflag]

As written above, this is a good document to read and consider in these times. Folks may own rifles and optics and not like the results. You probably do not need a "precision rifle" at 300 yards and less, but these instructions if practiced, followed and in-grained WILL improve your results.

Thank you.

Folks tend to focus on breathing and trigger, but for me, pulse bump at 600 yards plus is a real issue. Learning to employ a natural point of aim is huge as well, because unless you are just an absolute ace, shooting off the natural aim point will cause muscle induced error.

Even a girl can do it.

At 600 yards and over you really have to learn to judge that brief interval where the wind is falling and your heart is in between beats.

I’m confused. Is there supposed to be a rifle in the picture?

[Daffynition]

The gear gets pretty expensive, when you get to the *Bigs.*

Well, this thread WAS described as ‘gun porn,’ so thanks for the nifty pic.

...and those are just .22s. I have fired in 1,000 yard matches with my .223 space gun.

Take an Appleseed course.
They are offered in every State.

this thread is YOURS

[Blueflag]

That’s certainly true, but these instructions are easily understood by ‘everyman’ and an appleseed course is miles away, and I frequently offered, even for me in rural N Ga.

Plus you can do all this with dry fire.

“but for me, pulse bump at 600 yards plus is a real issue”

It’s frustrating that holding your breath amplifies pulse bump.

There are thousands of men that have an old .06 or .270 or some other caliber in the safe that they have not shot for the last decade or more.

Usually because they can’t get better than a 2in group with it. And yes, some rifles shoot that bad. It’s the natural state of lightweight hunting rifles.

For those who do not already know: Change the bullet weight. Go from 165gr to 180gr, or from 145 to 160 etc. Try every weight available for your caliber.

I have seen the $259 Savage from Walmart in 30.06 go from a 2in group using 165gr to .6in by shifting to 180gr.

And it’s one of the reasons I prefer .30cal. There are more bullet weights and types available than any other caliber. And particularly 30.06 where all those different weights are available on the shelf, today. From 150 to 220gr and all points in between.

Therefore EVERY modern bolt action rifle available today can shoot sub MOA out of the box.

If yours does not, it’s because you have a stubborn affinity for a particular bullet weight.

Slow exhalation, stop at 3/4 exhale and shoot between pumps works fairly well.

It helps to slow the rate just a little, but enough.
