For pure accuracy, the following guns I own, or have owned, shot way better than I can hold. All were bench rested and shot from 25 to 100 yards. In order, don't laugh, Taurus Tracker .17 HMR (3/4 high X 1 1/2" wide seven shot 100 yard group), TC Contender .22 lr match, 1 1/4" five shot group at 100 yards, Ruger Super SIngle Six, 22 lr, 3" six shots at 100 (all three of above with good scopes).
Iron sights Smith K22, and 617....often one ragged hole at 25, Smith 686, same. 1911 built up on Essex frame, Remington Rand slide, gold cup barrel and bushing, unknown other good parts, 3" Ransom rest at 50. I have a Mark I and a Mark II that are scary accurate and are begging for Volquartzen trigger jobs. Throw in a little wind and all bets are off. Throw in an arthritis flare up and same applies.
I spend too much time shooting trap and skeet these days to keep my smooth, controlled edge with "bullet" guns.
