As a fellow Service Rifle guy, the jacket helps with standing only. Why would you not shoot this challenge because of that rule, when you'd more than likely be shooting from the prone position?

Not an official entry because I haven't loaded pics and because I may have used a rear bag that's too large (Precision Underground). But I did attempt the challenge a couple of days ago with some surprising results.
First tried it with my Tikka TAC A1 in 6.5 CM. Shooting Prime 143gr. ammo. Figured this would be the easy one, since I always shoot my bolt action guns better than my AR and feel I can generally shoot better than 1 MOA. Turns out I can't - at least not for the challenge. Results were approx. 1.1", 1.1". 1.3". .6" and 1.1" What was really frustrating was that I seemed to have one flyer in all but the .6" group - usually the first round. So that was a fail. Then I tried the challenge with my CLE 18" AR15 upper with a Krieger barrel 1/7.7 twist. Shot AAC 77gr ammo. Results were approximately 1.1", 0.75", 0.75", 0.8" and 1.3". The last group would have been my best with first four shots being about .6" and then the 5th shot being the worst flyer of the day and really opening things up. Again, not an official entry since I don't know how to post pics (do I have to upgrade my membership?). But really interesting exercise that emphasizes how important consistency is and how not being able to throw out those supposed flyers can really open up your 5 shot groups. Makes it clear that these two rifles would be shooting bugholes if the guy behind them could improve his consistency. Still basically pretty happy with my AR15 results, and definitely plan to reshoot with my Tikka because I know I can do better. |

Actually went back to the range today with my Tikka TAC -A1 because I was so disappointed with my earlier results. Knew both me and the rifle were capable of better results. Using same Prime 143 gr. ammo did about as well as I'm capable of. Following 5 shot groups at 100 yards- .7", .4", .45", .8" and .6" for an average of approximately .6" My best explanation for improved results was that I wasn't getting the first round flyers that I got in my previous session. Only change I made was to insert the magazine on a closed bolt, rather than an open bolt. Not sure if this somehow impacted how the round was fed into the chamber, or because I was cycling the bolt on each shot, rather than last 4 shots, I was getting behind the rifle exactly the same way each time. Or maybe I was just shooting better today. But results were much better.
All groups on a single 8.5x11 piece of paper, so no cherry picking of groups. Also, except for two shots to warm up the barrel, these were the only 25 shots I fired from the rifle today, so it didn't take me 4 tries to get these results. So I'm now considering upgrading my account and actually posting pics, so this (and prior groups with an AR) can be an "official" entry. At least it will be fun for others to see my setups. Still not sure this will count for the contest, since my rear bag may be a little too big. Used bipod up front for both rifles. Also, don't have fancy measuring app. to measure groups, so my measurements could be off by a little bit, since I'm just using a tape measure. Finally, I will say both groups say a lot about the inherent accuracy of the rifles. I have no doubt that I am less than perfect in maintaining consistency and a better shooter could probably knock about .2" off my averages (particularly my AR). Still an approx. 1" average with my AR (even with a really crappy flyer) and approx. .6" average with my Tikka, both shooting commercial loads, says a lot about what these rifles are capable of. |

This isn't an entry because I didn't shoot enough 5 shot groups. But consider it a "I might be back" post.
This is a new Ruger American Gen 2 i. .223 Remington with an Athlon Argos 6-24X50 BTR FFP scope. Attached File I shot this target today at 100 yards. Attached File The bottom right bull only was 4 shots. Top right and bottom left are shown in the following pics, before subtracting .223. The middle was sighting in and scope adjustments.
