Oh, and I WISH I could muster a .206 grouping! LOL! The rifle, loads are capable... the man pulling the trigger IS, no longer! Eh.. I still have a butt load of a good time when I can get out. Haven’t lost that!
Great shooting!

Not trying to say I do it often, in fact just once so far. I have done 1/4" groups several times, not as a rule but I think the rifle could with a better marksman. I have enough 3/8"-5/8" groups too, sometimes even more with different bullets. Not every bullet shoots this good. just took me a while to find one that works very well for it. I am really impressed with it for a $300 rifle with nothing done to it and about a $235 scope.
Very impressive my friend! For me, I’m happy getting .75” or below groups. And I have a whole lot more doe than that into my Savage rig. It’s quite capable of impressive groups with someone steadier & who has better eyesight than myself. Which is all it is. Mostly eyesight. I’m completely BLIND in my left eye from a retina surgery and reaction to the gas. The normal Pressure in our eyes should not exceed 22 mm/hg. The reaction caused my eye pressure to go to 90mm/HG. The pain was unbearable. As explained by the doctor, it was like my eye had a Stroke, just cutting off blood supply. (Sorry, but I like to explain as it’s not just bad vision I have. Which my right eye is also heavily corrected.
In my younger adult years I was incredibly accurate. Pistol mostly. But even then, my shooting was always from a DEFENSIVE point. And when I would train a student when I instructed, it was always Defensive accuracy. It’s not about putting one bullet after another through the same hole. THAT would not cause as much blood loss as would several SEPARATE holes; in order to STOP the threat in the quickest time possible. For me, rifle shooting was for hunting. And times as some fun just tossing lead across the ravines & canyons throughout the desert mountains of Arizona. 1000, 1200, 1500yds+. Nothing formal... aim at far off rock, or the discarded can or trash some cretan rudely littered. Group shooting was never part of my firearms/shooting activities much later.
The world is full of broken people. I remember watching my mentors,(aunts, uncles, grandparents, and my parents). They were very kind to broken people. When I learned about hobo marks back in the 60's, and that my grandmothers house was marked, i realized why there was a stream of kind old men coming to her door for a piece of bread or anything she could spare. They always had their hat in hand and were very grateful. Times have changed. Both the broken and the able are a different group today.
The Dunning-Kruger effect is alive and well.
I thought off topic & all but...Not a problem.

i attribute much of this sad misinformation to the spread of legalized recreational cannabis. You have to dream it up.
Welcome from another NM shooter. That makes three of us in here now that I know of.
