Naw, that's cheating, all that maniacal stuff to hold the rifle still...lol, try hold it--there's where the challenge comes in and true blue competition. Snipers to use all that fancy stuff.
@DoMw4r try it before you judge because the rifles are doing exactly what they are supposed to. I shoot benchrest so are you saying i cant shoot because i could out shoot you at any distance with a factory rifle so shut the hell up
Why? Because since you are shooting BR, you are probably a fat fuck that has to sit down whilst shooting. Get prone, drop the mono-, bi, and tripods, and actually hold your rifle, then you might be able to pass as a proper competition shooter.
@DoMw4r im fifteen years old. the only reason i shoot benchrest is i love to shoot. i dont use the front and rear rests i use a bipod. I also hunt groundhogs all summer with my pap and guess what i use a bipod there too so just sayin if you dont like benchrest fine. Trust me i enjoy groundhog hunting alot more than benchrest but i love to shoot so i try every type of shooting there is
@DoMw4r You're an idiot. Most of these bench rest shooters would not only beat you at bench rest competition shooting, but they'd embarrass you prone, supported, off-hand, and any other way you think you know how to shoot as well.
It's like saying an F1 driver wouldn't know what to do if they got into a NASCAR. These guys excel at benchrest because they put countless hours into machining and building the rifle, developing the loads, and perfecting their technique.
this shit is borring. what ever happened to actually HOLDING your rifle when you shoot? this isnt a competition its mechanical objects doing what there made to do. in my opinion this is not shooting. shoulder your weapon and do the same thing and i will be impressed.
@158057 It goes like this.. shoulder/off hand shooting, people do some amazing things, but there's a limit to the accuracy, and the rifle will always be more accurate than the shooter.
What benchrest does is force the human to comply with the requirements of the platform, so it puts rounds into as accurate a pattern as is possible. Look up Olympic style shooting and you'll see the same thing. It's different, but no less difficult, and these guys are making some incredible shots.
@158057 The impressive part is the prep: machining/building the gun, developing/testing the loads. Executing the shot is only a check of all that behind the scenes work.
Think of it this way. If a gunner uses a sight, a ballistics chart, and meteorological readings to drop an artillery round from a Howitzer onto a target 20 km away, first time every time.. do you not respect the engineering that went into the gun & ammo, and the skill of the operator to make it work as it's supposed to?
it is about physics, these shooting competitions require a lot. A friend who is a competition shooter is a physics profesor and the math involved in the load, the conditions wind etc as well as the spin of the earth for really long shot is all calculated in order to put a bullet in a 3 inch hole at 1000yrds. That is insane.
@4061926 It's an art ,anybody can throw a gun up to their should at 50mtrs and shoot a rabbit,but not everbody can take their time and shoot the left flea off the rabbits right ear at 1000yds.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I just set up a bench and did what he just did in the street in front of my house and I did way better. The police that showed up were even impressed. I got 2 cars a pickup, a bus and a Kenworth Semi. I was on target all day. Don't hate
I have shot Williamsport PA. Carolina, and Virgina both at Quantico and the farm.
I am not sure if there is a new record in in Hevey Gun 1000 Yard BR or not but I was on the line when a 3.151 10 shot group was laid down in williamsport.
BTW Bill is a great guy and I have sat next to him many a time on the rickity benches we used at Quantico back in the day.
if i bought a pair of clamps from hardware store, i think i can do just as good..in my shooting too.lol, heck- i wont even be on the firing line cus i'll have someone pull the trigger for me...
The rifle is heavy. Its doing EXACTLY what its suppose to. Recoil shoves it back when fired then the shooter shoves it forward to the stop on the rest. Getting a rifle to "track" in the bags like that isnt easy. Its set up so well once the wind is to his liking he gets off a 5 shot string before it changes. If he was shooting 100yds all 5 of those rounds would probably be at worst in the low 4's. It takes time money & a LOT of SKILL to do this. This is the VERY TOP of the rifle food chain
well, when he shoots the rifle standing up in an off hand position or at least in a prone non supported position will I be impressed. I can do this. I can read wind too by the way. The distance is known.
MOS!! Theres quite a few BR guys that shoot position too. We like to shoot rifles period. I'm partial to rim fire silhouette. Shooting off hand levels the playing field. A real high dollar rifle doesn't matter near as much. The guy holding the rifle has to be able to shoot it. My rim fire silhouette rifle is whats considered to be a low end .22 Its a Russian CM-2 I think I paid $450 for it & I wax guy's with .22's that coast 4-5 grand on a regular basis. Shooting anything is fun! US Army mos 18b
I know about all the things that go in the equation before trigger pulling but I just wish atleast the championships were limited to loop slings, bipods and packs.
Its just about the competitions. The point is to beat someone who has set the standards for shooting, and shoot their way. And competitions sometimes take the fun out of shooting...
Im also into rimfires and am currently planning to test the 17hmr to see if it can hit well at a 1000 feet.
I have been into bench resting for over 50 years and if it can happen, it eventually will. dont patronize. what is your best group at 1000 smart ass? I HAVE NEVER SEEN A SO CALLED PROFFESIONAL RANGE WITH 4-WHEELERS IN FRONT OF THE FIRING LINE! NOT IN 50 YEARS!
Wait just a minute, I have seen high quality bullets go into uncontrolled tumble spins out of fancy bench guns with odd twist rates before even over 60 degrees off the mark! Im just saying, the range is unusual given the human element. I mean c'mon, there is always the possibility of jo-blo who is relatively new to the sport with his new custom and his 3 oz trigger losing one at an an odd angle down range.
Sorry to say they wouldn't believe it. I have A top of the line proven winner 1000YD BR rig A worked up "pet load" A front rest A rear rest. ANY of you LAPTOP-SNIPERS want to make A WAGER? I'll let you shoot it for A day to get use to it no tricks I'll even help you. Next day if you out score me I'll give you my rifle. I win give me $7000.00
Your box stock Rem 700 with its stock barrel, stock trigger and its factory original stock right off the show room rack is going to out shoot my completely custom rifle? Your knowledge of rifles ends at knowing witch end the bullet suppose to come out of. There isn't ANY box stock rifle that will out shoot a custom rifle. Ever bore scope a stock Rem barrel? do you even know what a bore scope is? Stick to shooting beer cans at 20yds with your scatter gun BillyBob
This guy bought himself a $7000 ego. Feel sorry for you bud. He obviously doesn't know my extensive knowledge of firearms and handloading. Besides, benchrest is for fat middle-aged bald guys that have nothing better to do. A real marksman uses a rifle, a bi-pod, and natures elements. Go back to polishing your lacquered, 30 pound, boat anchor.
"I didn't bye it" "I didn't put it together" I BUILT IT! I only do BR to pass the time my main discipline is High Power silhouette and rim fire silhouette. I used the elements & sometimes a bi-pod for over 17 years in the US army 101st 5th Mount mos 18b Delta! Quit trying to impress & quit running your mouth What happened to just having fun in the shooting community & maybe learning something at the same time
Man, are you wrong. Using custom handloads, a properly cleaned barrel, and a skilled shooter will always produce sub 1/2 MOA out of most quality stock rifles. I have a Rem 700 Sendero in .300 Win Mag that consistently shoots .30-.40 MOA with handloads. I did manage to shoot a 5 shot .47 inch group at 300 yards which equals .15 MOA. I have the target and a friend to prove it.
Now if you would of told me you had a box stock Savage that shot in the low 5's maybe even in the high 4's I probably would of believed you. A box stock Rem shooting .15 ! Put the CRACK PIPE down before you post!! You better call Rem and let'em know how well that rifle shoots its in the top 3 rifles they've EVER ASSEMBLED!! Every now & then we get a couple guys out at the club who have hunnt'in ryfles dat soots in the #1's!! Some how those rifles NEVER seem to make it to the range though!! LOL.
Like I said, it all comes down to proper handloads and expert marksmanhip. I have a Savage Model 16 that shoots 1/2 MOA everytime, but only with handloads. Factory ammo, it shoots a 1.
If you want, I will post the target and my buddy can verify it for you. I am not saying it consistetly shoots 0.15 MOA, but it did one day. It averages .30 - .50 MOA
What do you mean a few huntin rifles that shoot in the 1? If you properly break in a rifle, most stock rifles will shoot 1 MOA, with handloads.
Thanks for the info thats great advice!! I'll keep the proper hand load & expert marksmanship thing in mind. Its quit all right no need to show targets doesn't mean anything if it wasn't shot in a match or if the rounds didn't save a life. I'm sorry for the mis-communication, I assumed you were familiar with BR terminology. When a BR guy says shes doing OK she's shooting in the 4's or 3's or 1's there talking .4's-.3's-.1's NOT she's shooting 4moa 3moa 1moa. Look at that you learned something!
Good for you, twirp. At 1000 yards, that's like taking a knife to a gun fight! Wow, you sound so smart making your "OFF HAND" comment about 1000 yard shooting in regards to a legend like Bill Shehane. Why don't you shut your little ball washer and go shoot up some more beer cans at 10 yards...
Every precision shooter who has viewed your comment deduced you are a complete moron. Anyone can shoot "OFF HAND". But the human body is not able to hold still for competitive 1000 yard groups. If you want to go beyond "OFF HAND", you have to design a winning rifle combination, learn to load precision ammunition, learn to outsmart wind and mirage, and lose the inferiority complex that apparently comes with OFF HAND shooting (in your case). Leave it to the professionals.
Ahhh that fat ass that shoots off the bench LOL, why don't you try a real shooting sport that takes skill (position shooting) or are you to damn fat and lazy to get off your bench?
Prone @ 1000 meter and your ass wouldn't hit shit!
At that rate of fire, the barrel is gonna heat up. What does that do for the point of impact at 1000 yds? I can see wanting to get shots away before wind conditions change but this seems kinda fast. Is this rate of fire required?
Its really hard to keep A 168gr bullet supper sonic at A 1000yds Going from supper sonic to trans sonic to sub sonic makes the bullet unstable and you have to load A 308 pretty hot to get anything over 180gr to stay supper sonic. This is science art and SKILL you have to do your home work its by no means easy. Most guys shoot mag's 300 338 and A lot of wildcats. I'm A firm believer in the .30cal there's something about them they just work. A .308 is A good choice for 0-800yds.
long enough to know I don't know everything and I never will. Long enough to know if I put all five rounds in one hole at a 1000yds it still wouldn't be good enough. Long enough to know a poser when one opens there mouth & shoves both feet in it. Long enough to know when ANYONE says the rifle & equipment do all the work, They have NO IDEA what they are talking about. Yea, I know! Thank you for bringing up my 8 MONTH old spelling error.
Bad day, sorry! I'm always willing to help ANY FELLOW SHOOTER we have to stick together. I can only show or tell you whats worked for me though. If Ive learned one thing about BR, high power, Silhouette, 3P, just shooting period. Its that you can NEVER KNOW ENOUGH and you will NEVER KNOW IT ALL. Just when you think you've got something figured out somehow your thrown a curve ball and you have to start all over.
yeah im old enough now so i can buy a rifle but with the prospect of obama becoming president i would like to buy something soon. just trying to get some good info for my decision. i agree we do need to stick together so we can keep shooting.
Bolt gun, Semi auto, long range,?? What are you interested in?? Going to shoot off a bench? off hand?? Give me a little to work with maybe I can help.
well the first gun my dad bought was a ruger 10/22 so me and my little bro would shoot bottles and cans from 50-100 yrd iron sights and then i got a scope for christmas. then my grandpa brought out his m1 carbine and a 45-70 and im hooked on large rifles. im thinking of the remington 700 because i heard a lot of good stuff and its not overly expensive. so im thinking medium to long range shooting.
I'm a BIG Rem fan myself but honestly for out of the box accuracy you cant beat a Savage they shoot. Some of there stocks are cheesy but Savage figured out a real good way to sort of free float there bolt face so it locks up square every time. Its a two piece job & IT WORKS. The big nut Savage uses to secure there barrel to the action darn near makes it a switch barrel rifle. Do your homework, It doesn't matter what the rifle looks like, the small hole in the target says EVERYTHING.
Some BR rifles are "switch barrels" meaning just that you can unscrew the barrel & screw another barrel on thats a different caliber. What ever the "other" barrel or barrel's are they all have to chamber a case of the same head diameter & all have to be of the same action length. A .308 & A .22-250 are of the same head diameter & are both short action cases A .308 and a 30-06 wouldn't work together the .308 is a "short action" case the 30-06 is a "long action case. Action length plays a part to.
I don't know where you are in the world but you should go to your local range and talk to people. DON'T BE INTIMIDATED by someone who's off in the corner all by himself-herself shooting a high dollar BR rifle. They learned the same way your going to have to. By asking questions, A LOT OF QUESTIONS. Ive been doing this a while now and almost all the people Ive met doing this have been VERY HELPFUL, most will ask if you want to shoot there rifles just to give you a taste and BAM YOUR HOOKED!
i live outside of los angeles california so theres not too much going on with guns here as you know. the range i go to is only about 300 yards so i really dont see too many people with high priced rifles. just fathers and sons out to shoot for the day mostly.
LA, Sorry to hear that! I lived in Central Ca outside of King City for 30 years. I moved to the Midwest about 5 years ago & NEVER looked back. Can you tell me anything about the lead ban out there? Is it in effect? What are the Rimfire shooters using? Copper washed bullets only? Ask the Range Officer if any clubs use the local range after hours if so what discipline, what club & when. Then talk to some of the club members. There's a wealth of knowledge out there you just need to tap it.
no i hope lead isnt banned because im shooting solid lead .22 rounds out of my ruger. im not sure because i only get out there im my birthday so i never really get to know the range master and the other workers. ill be sure to ask next time i get out there. my parents were looking at land in oklahoma but it couldnt happen at this time in our lives. my sisters got married this year and it was my senior year of high school. but when i can im leaving cali for somewhere back east. i love it there.
Theres a gun smithing outfit in LA called SSS I believe its Savage Shooter Supply, all they do in Customize Savage Rifles. They have a very good reputation in the BR world. Guys are buying $300.00 walmart Savages just for the action. They unscrew the barrel & ship the action to SSS & have them set up to switch barrel for 2 or 3 different cartridges trigger work BR stock etc. There reasonably priced compared to everyone else. They'll talk to you, Thats how all of us learn. ASK LOTS OF QUESTIONS
ok. i just dont have the money right now to do that kind of stuff. im about to start college and im rebuilding a car so thats where my money is going. im trying to get a loan for the car so the money i have saved up i want to buy the rifle. but if im ever down there ill try to stop by.
Bench shooting is skilless, try position shooting or silhouette shooting (that takes skill)! Sitting your fat ass down on a bench with a rife that has 36x + zoom is more or less pointless!
You are a pathetic impersonation of a sniper if you don't understand the significance of 1000 yard benchrest shooting. Even the military acknowledges the importance with their research in the .408 Cheyenne Tactical weapon system, using a Nightforce 12-42X56 Nightforce NXS scope to shoot seven inch groups at 1000 yards. Stop embarassing yourself, dumbass!
Mr. Devildog, you must have some sort of skills, but its obviously not precision shooting, based on your incompetent remark. Maybe you should think before you blurt out these indications of your incompetance. You use the prefix of USMC, but I would never claim you, after your current display of stupidity. Stick with the video games, they are much safer for morons like you...
BR shooting is a test of equipment AND shooter. The action is a custom action like a Stolle, BAT, surgeon, etc. Even with good equipment, the shooter must do their part. That's why sometimes people win with sleeved Rem 700 actions. Breathing, trigger pull, reading wind, mirage, good loads, every small variable plays a part when shooting extreme distances. Most of those shooters turn in .0's at 100 yards not .02's. Know something about this before you start making a bunch of ignorant comments.
God nice gun it looked smooth what action are you using. I have been thinking about getting into target shooting so what gun would be a nice rifle to start with I was thinking of a savage 110fp or a remington 700, or building one
BR 1000 yd/m shooting is about a lot of things - good equipment is mandatory - working up an accurate load is a very technical process with a lot of trial and error (this aint just stuffin shells). Sure, you are not holding that rifle, but you have to be able to read wind, light, mirage and take temp and humidity into account amoung other things. Trust me, while it isn't IDPA or Bullseye, it is VERY challenging.
i dont shoot benchrest personally im more of a f-class and peep site guy. all i can say is we shood be very gratefull for benchrest guys they are the F1/indy 500 of shooting, because the technology that goes in there, goes in our rifles and ammo in the end of the day no matter what you shoot.
When I am competing with target rifles in 7.62 I get all the recoil. I have to take mirrage, tamperature, humidity, wind, light effect. I dont get to use the hand loaded rounds and I use open diopter sights. I can go out to 1000 yards aswell, I usually do 300, 500 and 600M instead.
Yeah...cause where ever you put the crosshair, the bullet ALWAYS goes there. sheesh. And there is no proper way to pull a trigger. Man, some of you need to stop watchin movies about shooting and get out there and punch paper. It aint that easy to shoot .020 groups.
I get A real kick out of the big great white hunters who clam to have A hunting rifle that can put bullet after bullet in the same hole. I just wonder why they always leave that gun at home? It never seems to make it to the range. The one they do take to the range is A $100.00 pawn shop gun with A $50.00 scope shooting factory ammo and is never better than A 1" at 100yds (its usually 2"-3") and it only shoots that good because A BR guy shoots it for him.
BR shooting is more like two crew cheifs on a race team squaring off than two drivers. A test more of equipment, and knowledge of it, than all out shooting skill. Although, 1000 yards is one heck of along way for anything in .22, 6mm or .30...and those rifles...you could trade even for a good condition program Toyota Tacoma 4x4, fully loaded.
All I have to say is your welcome to come sit down at a bench behind my rifle anytime yes you have to work a good load but one thing you don't understand is when you shoot and the rifle recoils back, when you shove it foward against the stop and are back on the target it takes allot to get a rest and bag tuned and aligned to do that.
That sounds right, Though you spend all that money on good equipment and your never really shooting properly (well what I'd call shooting) I like target rifles because we still spend alot of money on the equipment but we still have to have alot of skill to get that illusive 10 every time
BR shooting is more about the shooter's ability to create accurate loads, prep and mod the rifle etc.. than it is about marksmanship. The shooter's equipment is what is competing, not so much the shooter.
Finally someone who realises and actually thinks about it before spouting off about me never having picked up a rifle before, which is very very wrong!
to be honest i'm with origeon on this one, from what i can see atleast, there is nothing more then a man sitting down, pulling a bolt back, sliding a round in and pulling a trigger, everything else has been done for him, the aiming, the concentration, everything is already set up, hardly a sport from what i can see
I have shot at 1000 yards before at the Bisley ranges in England as a special thing because we had free time, I had been shooting on the 600 yard Century range all week so we thought we would try the extra distance, it was pretty hard but we werent using scopes or rests, just apperture sights and slings, gloves etc.
id be very interested in knowin the group sizes at 1000 yards as well!! as easy as this LOOKS. i dont think it would be quite so easy. that is a long long long ways away and knowin your equipment and gun well enough to fire shots in quick succession like that is pretty cool. just taping on the rifle stock would throw the shot off a ways.
the big difference in BR shooters and prone shooters is the size of the groups. I know that 100 yard BR competitions usually see the spread between first place and fifth place seperated by only 2 or 3 thousands of an inch. Not sure what the average group size for 1000 yard BR is.
I doubt that origeonalpranksta has fired a rifle before, don't talk crap here. Probably just some stupid gamers who learn about weapons through games.
well atleast they're shooting, but I've shot 1000 yards before and yes its hard but not so hard that you need a massive scope and supports front and rear. But I've never done that particular disipline before so I don't know what the handicaps and regulations are
wheres the skill in loading and pulling a trigger? your barely touching the rifle and its supported front and rear. I respect all shooting disiplines but that seems a little pointless even at 1000 yards, I do that unsupported with open sights
Try it mate ! it's not as easy as you make out...BR shooters are trying to put all the bullets thru the same hole. The smallest hole(group) wins. Most rifles won't do much good against a true BR rig. Especially not a Fullbore rifle !! reading the wind is a big part of it - like Fullbore
I have 1000yd BR rifle & 100yd BR rifle. We get together you can watch me load 20 rounds for 1000yd & 20 rounds for 100yd. Ill shoot two strings of 5 shots each at A 1000yd & same at 100yd. No tricks same guns same ammo then, YOUR UP. Now since BR shooting is easy and your not even really shooting the rifle The equipment the rests all that stuff is doing all the work. Our targets should look pretty close to the same shouldn't they?? Name place time Ill be there.
You shoot 1000 yards unsupported with open sights and are able to hit something. Show me the video. There is more to this sport than you suspect. There is a lot of work that goes into the rifle. There is a lot of work that goes into the ammo. You need to be aware of the ambient conditions at the bench and at the target. And much more. I guess you are not a fan of Drag Racing..?
Lookup the Imperial Meeting at the national Centre Bisley.
We fire 7.62mm 155 grain rounds from specialised Target Rifls (look that up too) the sights consist of two concentric circles which we allign with the circular target. We fire from distances, 300,500,600,900 and 1000 yards. We have to take everything into account, but wind is the biggest problem. The only support we get is of a sling which takes some of the weight off the rifles.
rofl, so let me get this straight, if i can afford the guns, afford the ammunition, and pay someone to check the ambience so i can adjust accordingly, i could be a beast at this sport? sounds like people with real talent and arent rich would excell amazingly at this....
@123petes123 haha no shit i acctually give this guy a little credit for acctually shooting the gun, most pple just stand beside it and touch the trigger
@123petes123 not really it takes a great deal of skill along with it. you have to read mirage and wind at all distances. You also have to do everything the same for every shot
@lovshooting what you say is true but once everything is said and done the drag racer is still firing that car off the line and down the track freehand.. ultimately bench rest shooting has more to do with making the perfect bullet that it does with shooting skill.. the best bench shooter in the world will lose every time firing factory ammo against precision loads..
Naw, that's cheating, all that maniacal stuff to hold the rifle still...lol, try hold it--there's where the challenge comes in and true blue competition. Snipers to use all that fancy stuff.

I've never seen a benchrest match before. Why is there no upward movement on the gun? It lays flat as a pancake when fired and only recoils back.
kwoodman1 3 years ago
The rifle is heavy. Its doing EXACTLY what its suppose to. Recoil shoves it back when fired then the shooter shoves it forward to the stop on the rest. Getting a rifle to "track" in the bags like that isnt easy. Its set up so well once the wind is to his liking he gets off a 5 shot string before it changes. If he was shooting 100yds all 5 of those rounds would probably be at worst in the low 4's. It takes time money & a LOT of SKILL to do this. This is the VERY TOP of the rifle food chain

MOS!! Theres quite a few BR guys that shoot position too. We like to shoot rifles period. I'm partial to rim fire silhouette. Shooting off hand levels the playing field. A real high dollar rifle doesn't matter near as much. The guy holding the rifle has to be able to shoot it. My rim fire silhouette rifle is whats considered to be a low end .22 Its a Russian CM-2 I think I paid $450 for it & I wax guy's with .22's that coast 4-5 grand on a regular basis. Shooting anything is fun! US Army mos 18b
33243391 4 years ago
I know about all the things that go in the equation before trigger pulling but I just wish atleast the championships were limited to loop slings, bipods and packs.
Its just about the competitions. The point is to beat someone who has set the standards for shooting, and shoot their way. And competitions sometimes take the fun out of shooting...
Im also into rimfires and am currently planning to test the 17hmr to see if it can hit well at a 1000 feet.

Wait just a minute, I have seen high quality bullets go into uncontrolled tumble spins out of fancy bench guns with odd twist rates before even over 60 degrees off the mark!

Your box stock Rem 700 with its stock barrel, stock trigger and its factory original stock right off the show room rack is going to out shoot my completely custom rifle?

This guy bought himself a $7000 ego. Feel sorry for you bud. He obviously doesn't know my extensive knowledge of firearms and handloading.

No stock remington will shoot .15 MOA, even if it;s shot by zombies with no heartbeat.
radarbeam 4 years ago
Man, are you wrong. Using custom handloads, a properly cleaned barrel, and a skilled shooter will always produce sub 1/2 MOA out of most quality stock rifles. I have a Rem 700 Sendero in .300 Win Mag that consistently shoots .30-.40 MOA with handloads. I did manage to shoot a 5 shot .47 inch group at 300 yards which equals .15 MOA. I have the target and a friend to prove it.
jorgensonb78 4 years ago
Now if you would of told me you had a box stock Savage that shot in the low 5's maybe even in the high 4's I probably would of believed you. A box stock Rem shooting .15 ! Put the CRACK PIPE down before you post!! You better call Rem and let'em know how well that rifle shoots its in the top 3 rifles they've EVER ASSEMBLED!! Every now & then we get a couple guys out at the club who have hunnt'in ryfles dat soots in the #1's!! Some how those rifles NEVER seem to make it to the range though!! LOL.
33243391 4 years ago
Like I said, it all comes down to proper handloads and expert marksmanhip. I have a Savage Model 16 that shoots 1/2 MOA everytime, but only with handloads. Factory ammo, it shoots a 1.
If you want, I will post the target and my buddy can verify it for you. I am not saying it consistetly shoots 0.15 MOA, but it did one day. It averages .30 - .50 MOA
What do you mean a few huntin rifles that shoot in the 1? If you properly break in a rifle, most stock rifles will shoot 1 MOA, with handloads.
jorgensonb78 4 years ago
Thanks for the info thats great advice!! I'll keep the proper hand load & expert marksmanship thing in mind. Its quit all right no need to show targets doesn't mean anything if it wasn't shot in a match or if the rounds didn't save a life. I'm sorry for the mis-communication, I assumed you were familiar with BR terminology. When a BR guy says shes doing OK she's shooting in the 4's or 3's or 1's there talking .4's-.3's-.1's NOT she's shooting 4moa 3moa 1moa. Look at that you learned something!

keifer245 4 years ago
Every precision shooter who has viewed your comment deduced you are a complete moron. Anyone can shoot "OFF HAND". But the human body is not able to hold still for competitive 1000 yard groups. If you want to go beyond "OFF HAND", you have to design a winning rifle combination, learn to load precision ammunition, learn to outsmart wind and mirage, and lose the inferiority complex that apparently comes with OFF HAND shooting (in your case). Leave it to the professionals.

At that rate of fire, the barrel is gonna heat up. What does that do for the point of impact at 1000 yds? I can see wanting to get shots away before wind conditions change but this seems kinda fast. Is this rate of fire required?

raythemanroe 4 years ago
Its really hard to keep A 168gr bullet supper sonic at A 1000yds Going from supper sonic to trans sonic to sub sonic makes the bullet unstable and you have to load A 308 pretty hot to get anything over 180gr to stay supper sonic. This is science art and SKILL you have to do your home work its by no means easy. Most guys shoot mag's 300 338 and A lot of wildcats. I'm A firm believer in the .30cal there's something about them they just work. A .308 is A good choice for 0-800yds.
33243391 4 years ago
how long have you been shooting long distance? you seem pretty knowledgable. just so you know its super sonic not supper sonic.

33243391 3 years ago
well the first gun my dad bought was a ruger 10/22 so me and my little bro would shoot bottles and cans from 50-100 yrd iron sights and then i got a scope for christmas. then my grandpa brought out his m1 carbine and a 45-70 and im hooked on large rifles. im thinking of the remington 700 because i heard a lot of good stuff and its not overly expensive. so im thinking medium to long range shooting.
disturbedone5009 3 years ago
I'm a BIG Rem fan myself but honestly for out of the box accuracy you cant beat a Savage they shoot. Some of there stocks are cheesy but Savage figured out a real good way to sort of free float there bolt face so it locks up square every time. Its a two piece job & IT WORKS. The big nut Savage uses to secure there barrel to the action darn near makes it a switch barrel rifle. Do your homework, It doesn't matter what the rifle looks like, the small hole in the target says EVERYTHING.
33243391 3 years ago
ill have to check it out then. what do you mean by a switch barrel rifle?
disturbedone5009 3 years ago
Some BR rifles are "switch barrels" meaning just that you can unscrew the barrel & screw another barrel on thats a different caliber. What ever the "other" barrel or barrel's are they all have to chamber a case of the same head diameter & all have to be of the same action length. A .308 & A .22-250 are of the same head diameter & are both short action cases A .308 and a 30-06 wouldn't work together the .308 is a "short action" case the 30-06 is a "long action case. Action length plays a part to.
33243391 3 years ago
I don't know where you are in the world but you should go to your local range and talk to people. DON'T BE INTIMIDATED by someone who's off in the corner all by himself-herself shooting a high dollar BR rifle. They learned the same way your going to have to. By asking questions, A LOT OF QUESTIONS. Ive been doing this a while now and almost all the people Ive met doing this have been VERY HELPFUL, most will ask if you want to shoot there rifles just to give you a taste and BAM YOUR HOOKED!
33243391 3 years ago
i live outside of los angeles california so theres not too much going on with guns here as you know. the range i go to is only about 300 yards so i really dont see too many people with high priced rifles. just fathers and sons out to shoot for the day mostly.
disturbedone5009 3 years ago
LA, Sorry to hear that! I lived in Central Ca outside of King City for 30 years. I moved to the Midwest about 5 years ago & NEVER looked back. Can you tell me anything about the lead ban out there? Is it in effect? What are the Rimfire shooters using? Copper washed bullets only? Ask the Range Officer if any clubs use the local range after hours if so what discipline, what club & when. Then talk to some of the club members. There's a wealth of knowledge out there you just need to tap it.
33243391 3 years ago
no i hope lead isnt banned because im shooting solid lead .22 rounds out of my ruger. im not sure because i only get out there im my birthday so i never really get to know the range master and the other workers. ill be sure to ask next time i get out there. my parents were looking at land in oklahoma but it couldnt happen at this time in our lives. my sisters got married this year and it was my senior year of high school. but when i can im leaving cali for somewhere back east. i love it there.
disturbedone5009 3 years ago
Theres a gun smithing outfit in LA called SSS I believe its Savage Shooter Supply, all they do in Customize Savage Rifles. They have a very good reputation in the BR world. Guys are buying $300.00 walmart Savages just for the action. They unscrew the barrel & ship the action to SSS & have them set up to switch barrel for 2 or 3 different cartridges trigger work BR stock etc. There reasonably priced compared to everyone else. They'll talk to you, Thats how all of us learn. ASK LOTS OF QUESTIONS

BR shooting is a test of equipment AND shooter. The action is a custom action like a Stolle, BAT, surgeon, etc. Even with good equipment, the shooter must do their part. That's why sometimes people win with sleeved Rem 700 actions. Breathing, trigger pull, reading wind, mirage, good loads, every small variable plays a part when shooting extreme distances. Most of those shooters turn in .0's at 100 yards not .02's. Know something about this before you start making a bunch of ignorant comments.

Trickedj9 4 years ago
BR 1000 yd/m shooting is about a lot of things - good equipment is mandatory - working up an accurate load is a very technical process with a lot of trial and error (this aint just stuffin shells). Sure, you are not holding that rifle, but you have to be able to read wind, light, mirage and take temp and humidity into account amoung other things. Trust me, while it isn't IDPA or Bullseye, it is VERY challenging.

When I am competing with target rifles in 7.62 I get all the recoil. I have to take mirrage, tamperature, humidity, wind, light effect. I dont get to use the hand loaded rounds and I use open diopter sights. I can go out to 1000 yards aswell, I usually do 300, 500 and 600M instead.

I get A real kick out of the big great white hunters who clam to have A hunting rifle that can put bullet after bullet in the same hole. I just wonder why they always leave that gun at home? It never seems to make it to the range. The one they do take to the range is A $100.00 pawn shop gun with A $50.00 scope shooting factory ammo and is never better than A 1" at 100yds (its usually 2"-3") and it only shoots that good because A BR guy shoots it for him.
33243391 4 years ago
BR shooting is more like two crew cheifs on a race team squaring off than two drivers. A test more of equipment, and knowledge of it, than all out shooting skill. Although, 1000 yards is one heck of along way for anything in .22, 6mm or .30...and those rifles...you could trade even for a good condition program Toyota Tacoma 4x4, fully loaded.
AndyMo357 5 years ago
All I have to say is your welcome to come sit down at a bench behind my rifle anytime yes you have to work a good load but one thing you don't understand is when you shoot and the rifle recoils back, when you shove it foward against the stop and are back on the target it takes allot to get a rest and bag tuned and aligned to do that.

BR shooting is more about the shooter's ability to create accurate loads, prep and mod the rifle etc.. than it is about marksmanship. The shooter's equipment is what is competing, not so much the shooter.

I have shot at 1000 yards before at the Bisley ranges in England as a special thing because we had free time, I had been shooting on the 600 yard Century range all week so we thought we would try the extra distance, it was pretty hard but we werent using scopes or rests, just apperture sights and slings, gloves etc.

id be very interested in knowin the group sizes at 1000 yards as well!! as easy as this LOOKS. i dont think it would be quite so easy. that is a long long long ways away and knowin your equipment and gun well enough to fire shots in quick succession like that is pretty cool. just taping on the rifle stock would throw the shot off a ways.

the big difference in BR shooters and prone shooters is the size of the groups. I know that 100 yard BR competitions usually see the spread between first place and fifth place seperated by only 2 or 3 thousands of an inch. Not sure what the average group size for 1000 yard BR is.

well atleast they're shooting, but I've shot 1000 yards before and yes its hard but not so hard that you need a massive scope and supports front and rear. But I've never done that particular disipline before so I don't know what the handicaps and regulations are
origeonalpranksta 5 years ago
wheres the skill in loading and pulling a trigger? your barely touching the rifle and its supported front and rear. I respect all shooting disiplines but that seems a little pointless even at 1000 yards, I do that unsupported with open sights
origeonalpranksta 5 years ago
Try it mate ! it's not as easy as you make out...BR shooters are trying to put all the bullets thru the same hole. The smallest hole(group) wins. Most rifles won't do much good against a true BR rig. Especially not a Fullbore rifle !! reading the wind is a big part of it - like Fullbore

I have 1000yd BR rifle & 100yd BR rifle. We get together you can watch me load 20 rounds for 1000yd & 20 rounds for 100yd. Ill shoot two strings of 5 shots each at A 1000yd & same at 100yd. No tricks same guns same ammo then, YOUR UP. Now since BR shooting is easy and your not even really shooting the rifle The equipment the rests all that stuff is doing all the work. Our targets should look pretty close to the same shouldn't they?? Name place time Ill be there.
33243391 4 years ago
You shoot 1000 yards unsupported with open sights and are able to hit something. Show me the video. There is more to this sport than you suspect. There is a lot of work that goes into the rifle. There is a lot of work that goes into the ammo. You need to be aware of the ambient conditions at the bench and at the target. And much more. I guess you are not a fan of Drag Racing..?

Lookup the Imperial Meeting at the national Centre Bisley.
We fire 7.62mm 155 grain rounds from specialised Target Rifls (look that up too) the sights consist of two concentric circles which we allign with the circular target. We fire from distances, 300,500,600,900 and 1000 yards. We have to take everything into account, but wind is the biggest problem. The only support we get is of a sling which takes some of the weight off the rifles.

@lovshooting what you say is true but once everything is said and done the drag racer is still firing that car off the line and down the track freehand.. ultimately bench rest shooting has more to do with making the perfect bullet that it does with shooting skill.. the best bench shooter in the world will lose every time firing factory ammo against precision loads..
