I took a Rem 510 22LR bolt action to the range after drilling and tapping.
It was a beat up old used $60 rifle and a beat up old used $20 B&L 2.5x8 scope. The ammo was Win Power Point.
This target is 5 shots at 50 yards.
It looks really good until I tell you that there were 5 groups that target, and the other 4 groups were ~ 1".
I was having problems with parallax, and I think my errors cancelled five times. Things happen.
Bart Bobbitt has been warning for decades about not taking a single 5 shot group as meaning much. He has shot a 3.25" 20 shot group at 600y, so easy for him to say. He calls groups like mine a "wallet group".
Psychologically and emotionally, I need my wallet group.
