Accuracy guarantee?
      30/08/08 10:50 PM

Hello Folks,

When I bought my H.S. Precision rifle I was intrigued by the guarantee of 1/2-inch accuracy. When I looked closer I found that they promise it will shoot a three-shot group of 1/2 inch or less at 100 yards. In fact, it will. Yesterday I shot eight groups. Two measured less than 1/2 inch, two were ever so slightly larger, and four were about one inch. The average for the eight was significantly under an inch.

I have complete confidence is this gun as a hunting rifle. At reasonable ranges it has the capability to fire a killing shot every time. My problem is, I’m not satisfied with that. I shoot thousands of shots in practice for every one I fire in the field, and I enjoy it. I like to shoot little groups, knowing full well that my standards are unnecessarily strict.

I like single shots, and I’m trying to buy a Cooper M22 Classic (more on the “trying” part later), in the hope that it will equal my expectations. I have target rifles with which I can shoot ten consecutive groups of less than 1/2 inch, many much less. I realize they are not going to make this part of their guarantee, but does anybody know if the Cooper has the potential to keep five consecutive three-shot groups under 1/2 inch at 100 yards?

Take care, Tom
