Default OFFICIAL Show us how you shot with your rifle! Pics

Alright, This should be a thread with pictures of how you shot. Post your targets, what you used, and range.
Here is my semi zeroed Stag 2HL at 50 yrds shooting PPU M193 55 gr with Iron sights

The lower left shots were not mine.

What irons are you using. Obviously either a really fine aperture or some kind of diopter sights. Show pics if you could, i'd like to see. Some very fine shooting by the way. would kill my shooting.

Iron sights. A2 "National Match" rear sight with 1/4 MOA clicks and a .038 aperture with a .052" front sight post.

Yes, that was shot at 200 meters (~217 yards). Shooting 2MOA or better groups with iron sights isn't as difficult as you might think. You figure a good AR should hold at least 1MOA. Factor in the shooter with a 1MOA hold, and that's a 2MOA cone of fire. If you're lucky, your gun can shoot 1/2 MOA and with good training and practice, the shooter can bring that hold down to 1/2 MOA or better.

I'm not even a great shooter. You should see some of the seasoned High Power shooters and the kinds of groups they can put on target, and at 'real' distances.

did you use a Rifle or a Hole Punch, for what ever reason your groups don't look like Bullet holes.

I agree, either he punched holes or threw marbles or shoot ultra low velocity rounds, like at 40fps projectiles....A rifle with 500 fps punches holes cleaner then those.

Here's a 5 shot 5 9/16" group. Yes, there are 5 shots.





The "X" shot was the flyer that opened it up.

The next group I shot was 5 1/2"



Oh yea, shot at a 1000 yard match with my 50BMG ALS upper. I left the AR50 home that match.

A couple weeks ago I got my 22 to fire consistently and while testing about 6 different ammo types and bringing my little scope into zero, I got a few nice 1 MOA and less groups I had always expected of my rifle:




This is the rifle:

Still tweaking and clamping things down on my ACOG Smith Mount. Sadly I neglected this gun when I bought it mid 90's. Since this shoot I have deep cleaned the barrel with Kroil, and re-tightened the muzzle brake assembly. I suspect something isn't aligned, an M1A NM should shoot better than 6" groups at 100 yards with surplus 147 grain. I'm gonna take it out,remove the brake and see what happens. My big fear is I damaged the crown or something years ago being careless. This scope is AMAZING though.






My Remington 700 LTR in .308 makes one hole consistently with SA milsurp at 100 yards.

bigbamboo, were you only trying to scare the turkey? rounds flying that close by my head would have necessitated a change in underwear.

Here is a prime example of having the ability to go to a higher mag. Without it I would never have been able to hit this yote. At 4X all I could see was tree limbs, fence post,etc.
When I went to 16X I was abale to thread the needle through all that and make the shot.
The coyote was 150+ yrds away from my shooting postion in this video.



Take care,Stan

Stan, every time I see that I'm taken back at the accuracy of your Tikka.

Not to threadjack, but I have a question about coyote hunting. Do you find it difficult to do? The reason I ask, is that I am such a dog person. It seems too close to home if you know what I mean. I have shot elk and deer, but no small animals. I guess I am such a big wuss.

I lost a cat to coyotes, and I guess I would have to dig deep and get those emotions to pull the trigger. As I understand it, coyotes are all year shooting right? Considered a pest?

Here is a pic of a 5 shot group at 100 yd that my RRA Varmint A4 recorded at the range last year.


And my Ruger 77/17 in .17HMR at 75 yd during a play day at Panoche Hills. A full box of ammo in the 10 ring. My best shooting to date.


And finally here is what my GSG-5 did from 50 yds out.

I try and convey this to people, but most are set in their ways and are not willing to give them a try.

For the low cost of the Tikka...they are sure hard to beat...at any price range...but for $450-600 ($450 for the blued models and up to $600 for SS) and you have to do nothing to them...no bedding,no trigger job or after market trigger,etc....and they will shoot sub 1/2" groups with FACTORY ammo....show me where to match that and I am there.

I am not a fan of one brand or another...I am a fan of out of the box tack drivers though. And out of all the rifles I have owned and/or shot...none have come close....at any price. Ok...my TRG-22 shoots 1/2" groups....still not as good as the Tikka's....but it cost me $2600.00.

I almost bought a Ruger M77 compact in .243 before I bought the Tikka .243...but the Ruger was close to $800.00 And the trigger sucked...so add another $150+ for a new rigger. ANd then there is the question of IF it would shoot as well. I know where I stand when I buy a Tikka.

I am hearing really good things about the Sako A7....it looks very similar to the Tikka with some minor upgrades....not sure it is worth the extra $300+ for those upgrades though.
I am thinking of buying one....will post review in a Tikka vs Sako A7 type post.

Take care,Stan
I can't wait to try my Howa M1500 Ranchland Compact.

I was waiting for one to put my Tikka Tactical in but sold the rifle before Pete started shipping them. Still thinking about doing one in .243.

Between work and crappy weather it's hard to find time. Once again this weekend is taken up, must take a trip to Clovis to visit mom. Priorities first. Shes getting up in her 90's, not much time left. Lost my dad in 2007.

I'm without a doubt putting a Tikka on my list of must haves for 2009.

Default The Rifle , and the Target

Here is a three shot group from my AR/M4 w/ Aimpoint @ 50 yrds.....I made almost identical groups at 100 yds , but they werent on a pretty target with a quarter size red bullseye. This was the first day sighting in the new Aimpoint Comp M4. I think that I can tighten them up by half next time. I was shooting at the Metcalf range.

Below is a picture of the rifle used , and the target.

Default Nice Shootin' Guys!

O.K. Darklyte, You talked me into it.
This is what happened while zeroing my carry handle on my 1st build at 100 yds. Territorial Gunsmith lower, RRA LPK w/single stage with a Bushy M4 patrolman 16" upper. A3 carry handle and A2 front post.
Sitting, resting the pistol grip on a table and holding the forstock. Was hitting high at first. The first target, Fired 3 rounds, Then raised the front site 1/4 turn to drop the POI, fired 3 more, and so on..It's pretty apparent when I jerked and when I squeezed the trigger. The second target was rapid fire. Kinda scattered all over the paper, But I did hit dead center once! Looking forward to some optics soon. Not sure if I want to go red dot or scope yet.

I try and convey this to people, but most are set in their ways and are not willing to give them a try.

For the low cost of the Tikka...they are sure hard to beat...at any price range...but for $450-600 ($450 for the blued models and up to $600 for SS) and you have to do nothing to them...no bedding,no trigger job or after market trigger,etc....and they will shoot sub 1/2" groups with FACTORY ammo....show me where to match that and I am there.

I am not a fan of one brand or another...I am a fan of out of the box tack drivers though. And out of all the rifles I have owned and/or shot...none have come close....at any price. Ok...my TRG-22 shoots 1/2" groups....still not as good as the Tikka's....but it cost me $2600.00.



Take care,Stan
I don't have any pictures to add to this thread but I wanted to throw in my two cents. Watching Stan's videos got me interested in Tikka's and I bought one used when it came up. About two weeks ago I bought another one. I LOVE my 223 varmint. I went to a range I don't usually go to today and started shooting at the farthest gong they at 400 yards. There was a girl there shooting what looked like a tricked out 700 in .308 and another guy shooting a .30 cal of some variety. Out of 60 shots I missed maybe five and those only because I was rushing, there was a stiff breeze blowing and the target had a 100 foot rise. It fun as hell to be watching through your scope as the two people on either side of you make swiss cheese out of the dirt and you just keep hearing "clang!" when you shoot. I love my Tikka's and it's all Stan's fault.

I'll play too.
200 yard shot with 10/22 factory stock, 3x scope, federal bulk ammo from Walmart:



156 yard (range finder comfirmation) shot with AR15 DPMS 24" bull barrel, 6x scope, handload 75gr 24.3gr RL-15:



The three other shots that didnt group well with the rest were because of seating dept, I was testing out my L-R load.

Very nice shooting all,
Stan have you ever looked at Savage rifles? How do you think they are compared to tikka's? I really need to get a better stock for my 10FLP.

FMJBT, I know what you mean, same thing happened to my target!!

I had posted these a long time ago on the Curio & Relic forum:

Here is a 100-yard group with my K31 with Darrell's Scout Mount and a Burris handgun scope. Ammo is GP11.



Here is a 100-yard group with my M1 Garand with S&K scope mount and Bushnell Elite 3-9x40. Ammo is Danish surplus.
