I cannot blame the gun, scope, or ammo.
Preaching about quality equipment not being the limitation is the absolute truth.
You cannot learn anything about yourself if you doubt the equipment you are using.
The Cold Bore shot hitting POA on the S was a good sign. I think the CZ 452 is better than the 455 in that respect.
Anschutz went to a threaded barrel in the new 54-30 action. No more clamps or pins like the 2013 or 1913 actions.
CZ is still a sporter though and it is luck of the draw on accuracy with them.
Going to pick up some Air Soft pellets to replace the squishy filler in the rabbit ear bag.
Need to budget about $100 to build a decent bench or move forward past the crest of the little hill and go prone.
I have room to move the target back to maintain 50 yards distance.
Building a bench would be better since my wife doesn't like to get down near the bugs.
Will try again after lunch Sunday with my AR just to see how the new trigger helps or doesn't.
Will shoot the Appleseed AQT 11'X17" silhouettes for that if I can make the time.
Hopefully I can do better with a sling from prone with some XM193.
This was with the factory mill spec trigger and the old Burris 4X scope at 50 yards months ago.
There was lots of sighting in that day.
First shot ought to be within a half inch of POA next time with the Leupold VX-R and the Geissele.
I got it pretty close back in late June but didn't take any pictures.
That Zero Force Firing Position article had me in the right frame of mind to be able to analyse my performance even from a bench.
I can see where the bench rest shooters need to use the lateral travel to move between targets rather than twist it in the rest by using pressure on the heel of the stock with the rear bag. Smooth straight recoil keeps it on target. I twisted it to get on Bull#4 and it shows.
Should have prepositioned the entire front bag a fraction of an inch instead.
