How good a shot was the shooter?

Excellent they roped in Ken the chairman of a rifle club there who not only competed but was ex British Sniper. Those days I was a RCO for the NRA so was over seeing the firing on the point. Ranges was 200 yards on the far right of the Short Siberia range shooting the lanes next to the McQueens target. It was the chairman that got the McQueens set up installed on the Short Siberia range to allow proper practice for the McQueens comp at the annual Imperial meeting at Bisley.

Two others also tried unsuccessfully to get a decent group and they tried several types of ammunition to no avail. The rifle looked well put together but there was something not right as it just would not group. The grouping was so poor that if it was used for it's intended purpose then the range to guarantee a kill on a Roe Deer would have to be about 50 yards maximum then it should have been possible to be certain of a body hit.

I saw Ken trying a new handload out at 100 yards at Bisley one day through his Parker-Hale 84 target rifle and the five shots were almost touching. Group size was in the 5/8-7/8" group size and this was using the target aperture sights NOT a scope. The new load was one using the Speer .308 Plinker bullet.
