1" groups

Well, I'm sure Rocky has said this a time or two...but 1" groups are really good groups...especially from a Hunting rifle! Yeah, if we trick them all out and do all the mods on them that we can...a lot of rifles will do better. Some much better. The only part of the equation that we really can't do too much about is the guy holding the rifle. Some people really aren't capable of sub 1" groups consistently. I find as I get older that I can see my heart beat through the scope crosshairs bouncing around. I used to be able to control my heart beat a little with breathing control but not so much anymore. And I have really low blood pressure of 100-110/60. If my BP was high I'd probably be bouncing all over the target. Heck I have a Ruger No1 that I am lucky to get to shoot slightly under an inch but it will stay at an inch or under to 200 yds. Weird...but every rifle is a law unto itself. I do have a Rem 788 that will consistently with good shooting stay at 1/2" and it is a pure stock rifle with an el cheapo scope. Stays sighted so I an't changin nothin'. BTW it is a 222 so part must be the caliber. It accounted for over 450 groundhogs. At a buck apiece I really did pay for that rifle
