New Article - The Dummies Guide To Rifle Accuracy
Have just published another new article - 'The Dummies Guide to Rifle Accuracy'
As a hunting guide, the biggest problem I am faced with (besides locating game) is in-accurate rifles. Before each hunt I advise clients that long shots of around 300 yards are very common on our hunting blocks. I then ask each client to check their rifles carefully to ensure that the rifle is both accurate and zeroed appropriately for the ranges we will encounter.
Unfortunately we are finding that eighty percent of the rifles brought here for hunting aren’t capable of even basic accuracy. Think about that, for every ten rifles you are seeing on the gun store walls, two, at most, will be accurate and these, in my experience have been more of a fluke than good management.
Of the in-accurate rifles that come here, some have been brand new high end several thousand dollar jobs, others have been basic production sporting rifles. Some clients have had to give up after their rifle shot all over the target at the range and use one of our back up rifles for their hunt.
The latest article talks about what is an accurate rifle and how you can know whether your rifle is accurate or not. You can read the full article here.
