My main rifle is a tricked out Win Mod 70 XTR Featherweight that my parents gave me for my 16th birthday. The gun has always shot incredibly well, but I did not know exactly what it was capable of until today.
This afternoon I was shooting next to a good friend who is a serious, and I mean SERIOUS, match shooter. After watching him shoot string after string of sub 1/2 MOA groups I asked him to try my rifle to see what it was capable of.
The first string measured .508. :uhoh:
The second string measured .599. :eek:
The third string measured .563. :what:
HOLY COW!!
Okay, so my pride took a little beating (I was thumping my chest thinking I was King High Shooter with my 1.25" groups) but now I know that I have a true tack-driver of a rifle. That makes this ol' Texas boy mighty happy!
And no, you can't shoot it. :neener:
