people can say whatever they want about ammo. No, just ammo alone isn’t gonna near make up for a bad shooter. However, there is a reason that people reload. If there was no benefit then I’m sure many would rather save their time and give a couple extra dollars for mass produced ammo that shot as well as their reloads. It all matters and it all comes together.

I don’t think there is one singular thing that matters more than the other. It all has to come together. Gear is some of it, ammo is some of it, practice and fundamentals is some of it. Practice practice gets you most of the way, that’s with anything. Sure some are more natural than others but practice makes perfect. That’s probably 78% of it, yes I pulled that out of my ass. Gear probably 12%. Ammo the last 10% but usually when you get to the ammo aspect you are talking about half inch groups vs 2” groups. That’s the difference and yes there is factory ammo out there that will shoot half an inch, sometimes, maybe even a lot of times, but not all the time. That’s where reloading your own ammo comes in because only then can you insure consistency in processes.

But reality is, in most circumstances half an inch vs 2” on a human size target or larger isn’t gonna matter that much. Not for most people. Benchrest shooters sure but to be honest, imo, that takes a lot of the human element out of it anyways and not something I really use as a marker for a good shooter. It’s some kind of an indication but not much for real world. I want the guy that can shoot good under a myriad of situations not just from a bench under optimal conditions.

You also have to factor in age because I don’t know about you guys but I’m not in my 20’s anymore. Yes I can still give people a hell of a run for their money but I’m getting older and I have to realize I’m not likely to maintain this badassness into my 90’s.

Price reduced to $90 dollars.

One still available.

Yep, proxibid just layers their fee on top of the RIA fee. I’ve never understood why anyone would pay that much extra to go through them.

Made the trade. Marlin model 30AW. JM stamped. Other than being zeroed, I dont think it was even used. Now to get a can on it.

That's a scope I would be eyeing hard if I was in the market for a scope today.

A you tube showed a guy measuring the action depth to bolt recess with the bolt guide out. Is that the best way?

This in it's normally used configuration, aka View attachment 8749103bipod and rear bag, but I don't shoot it prone much anymore.

A 87Y group and that 100Y group with it.

One time I hit out 100Y 1" spinner 9 times in a row before I missed but I'd fallen off the reg or I might of done more.

That is a pretty stock, in a very utilitarian modern style.

And the groups don’t suck either.

Hell, bully zelensky. There isn't a more deserving person on the planet at this point. Rub his fucking face in the dirt. Give him a swift boot in the ass while he's on his knees. Humiliate him. Send him packing. Recall all weapons and munitions that we've sent him and cut off ALL aid permanently. Stat.
