My best "group" was a 149-4X in an F-Class match (F-TR) from the 300 yard line. Two sighters in two minutes, S1 and S2, followed by 15 shots for record in 15 minutes. It was a windy day so we were all fighting it a bit. My only "9" was the 14th shot. I was happy with this effort because I've always found the 300 yard stage to be intimidating. The X ring is only 1.4" and the 10 ring is 2.8".
Here's the rifle.

Best I've fired with a hunting rifle in recent memory. Shot with my Winchester M70 wearing a Zeiss conquest 3.5x10-44. Kicker was I left my front bag and rest at home, this was shot off a bipod and rear bag.
I've done a whole lot better with my 30br bench gun, but for a skinny barreled sporter I was delighted.
BTW, this load is approaching toasty, as with all handloads, it is safe only in the rifle it was developed in.

5 yards, CZ82, double taps where the bullet holes were touching. It was sort of a bump fire. Did it a few times in a row. It's not a rifle but it's my best.
Shot sequentially in the order presented over the course of about 20 min. The first and third were Silver State factory loads with a 168 SMK. The second and fourth were my handloads with a 168 Nosler Custom Comp over 41.0gn of Tac. I pulled the shot in the center on the first group. There are three bullets through the center on the last.
The rifle is a Savage action that began life as a Walmart package rifle in .308. The barrel is a $139 20" ER Shaw from Midway fitted with a Bennie Cooley brake. At the time it was in a PDC Custom aluminum stock. Scope was a SWFA SS 5-20x50.

No pictures but nearly everytime I shoot my .17hmr at 100 yards a dime will cover up the group .

That is cool.here's a 1-shot group (first round of the day) at 1015 yards in the wind. I use the bolts as a vertical aiming point. My spotter changed the wind call about 6 times before I fired.

The best group I ever shot (and granted, I shot it at 50 yards, but I shoot how I hunt, and where I hunt in WI I almost never have an opportunity to shoot beyond 100 yards, so I practice at 50) was with my 1942 Mosin Nagant 91/30, sitting at a bench with the forened supported with improvised cross sticks. I put four shots into a group that measured about the diameter of a nickle from center to center.
Because the shots were so close together, I was having a hard time tracking the hits as I had no optics. For some reason, the ammunition I was using (see below) was kicking exceptionally hard, and I was hurting pretty bad after shot four. The fifth shot I pushed straight down about 5 inches because I peeked and the recoil really stung!:banghead: Normally, the 203gr. Brown Bear loads are very comfortable and soft recoilling, but not the 174 gr. loads.
Had some curious extraction issues as well...
-Standard sights, adjusted for a 50yd zero, lightened trigger to about 5lbs, shimmed action with no barrel bedding. I used It was a hot day, probably about 87-89 degrees with high humidity. Ammunition was Brown Bear 174gr. 'Match' 7.62x54r.
It's nothing compared to some of the excellent shooting I've seen so far, but I was impressed that I was able to coax near-MOA accuracy out of a 1942 Izzy. Beauty in the eye of the beholder, right?

.486" 5 shot group, 160g cast bullets, from my stock Remington 700, 300 win mag, with a 4-12 AO power Bushnell scope on it @ 100 yards. i have fired several groups close to that, but that was the best so far. you have to love it when a factory production gun can turn out as good of groups as some custom built guns, costing 3 times as much. it also shoots consistent sub moa full power hunting loads also. i am sure this is not the normal for a gun like this. but i am darn glad this one fell into my hands.

So far, it's .200" with my 6mmBR rifle at 100 yards. I don't have pictures available, but I do have a picture of the target on another computer.
I was so amazed I kept measuring it again, like I made a mistake. LOL
I love that rifle.

Rifle: A three shot clover-leaf with my friends Tikka T3.......he wasn't happy.
Pistol: A six shot group with my S&W 1917 that could be covered with a Kennedy half-dollar. I stopped experimenting with loads after that one.

Back when I was young, healthy and real good-looking, I had a Ruger .220 Swift. Heavy barrel, 3x9 Redfield, Canjar single-set trigger.
Using the Sierra 52-grain HPBT and 4064, I regularly and reliably had 3/8 MOA five-shot groups.
That load did horrible things to feral cats in my pasture.

I still am young (relatively) healthy and good looking.
The best three shot group I ever hit was with my 25-06 shooting 115g Nosler BT's with 48g of IRM4350. the group was a vertical string touching each other from 100 yds.
