I'll start off. This is my mountain to mountain gun for deer hunting in Pa. Built by Bob Green.

5 rounds, 200 yards with a factory 700P. The fact that it was a factory rifle makes it impressive to me.

Red that is AWESOME shooting. I was doing load development and didn't have a clue it a good group. Probably a good thing I didn't know.
 
Hell I'm scared to post mine. I don't want to be called a liar. I shot it a few weeks ago and even had a witness. It's not anything I could consistantly recreate, so it's not a example of my actual skill. Just a some lucky shooting on a lucky day.
 
Trevor that's why the thread is the best group of your life! I've never shot that good since.... Kind of like that one red head in collage... Once like a true boss is enough to remember!!! :)
 
Ok.......
New 6XC with 105 Hybrids
3 shots @ 705 yards. DA 1,875, temp 63*, 4:15pm.

Some fantastic shooting Gents, Damn!

Best one ever...hmmm. That would be a 20d group I fired shooting highpower with an M-14 at Quantico in 1988. A 200-17X at 600yds. 3 shots in a 12" 10-ring and 17 shots in the 6" X-ring, iron sights, prone and slung. The coach was calling wind.
Shot a lot tighter groups in my life but this was the "best" one.

This is one I make no claims I can consistently recreate. No doubt I felt the pressure on the 5th shot!

Shot this when working up a load. Beanland chambered 6x47, Bighorn action, Bartlein barrel, shot prone/bipod/squeeze bag, 100yds.

That barrel is shot out. It's back at Beanland's right now getting a new barrel.

HardRock match before my Chemo days, first shot at 800 was 5" from a pinwheel the next 4 were pinwheels in-less than a 1" group.
600 yd was about the same, group size was just over 3/4" total.
Fucking chemo,...
 
I wish you'd title this "best 5 shot group ever', 5 shots last Aug 24th, 6 Creedmoor. I did remeasure this and got .400".

Who cares if its 5 or 3 or 10? The dogma with anything but 5rd groups is pretty queer i think.
 
These 2 groups were shot with a Hall model B with Lilja barrel in 6ppc. 5 shot's in each group at 100 yards. What's with all the 3 shot groups?

Only 100 yards but shot this while doing load development on my surgeon 260.
5 shots into .150 ...just a little over 1/8 MOA.

It's a pretty slick thing. You just grab the steel at the bottom and pick it flat. Put your money down and it stays right there.

I'm with You. I'm new to the LR hobby my "best" groups are many, many others "sub par" group I'm sure.

I do probably have some relatively impressive PISTOL targets I've shot over the years, between bullseye and simply being a handgun loonie and shooting a lot.

FN in MT
 
Strange... my best groups seem to occur whenever I don't have a camera with me.

but... I do have two personal bests with a factory remington tactical 20" barreled action that happened on the same day...
900y

a little gust indicated the 600 yard line flag must have taken one 168 A-Max for a little joy ride by the time it reached 1000y

Not as good as some have posted here, but I'm pretty proud of this since its a 20" factory barrel .308 Rem 700 SPS tactical. Mark @ SAC did a little magic to it.....

During Load development after getting the rifle back:

645 yds

1000 yds. Bottom 2 were sighters, then made a self-correction using the reticle after seeing the splashes.

Edit: The last one is why I'm a big fanboy of S&B glass. The ability to clearly see the impacts at 1000yds without the need for a spotting scope and to accurately use the reticle for adjustments is worth the $$!

IMAGE_019.jpgNotice I did not crop out the flyer!! Yea not a great group at 525 yrds, but the 3 in one hole I have yet to duplicate. I did this right at dusk with a factory 5R with 155 Lapua's. Check the date, 2008.

My best group at distance. I've had better "5 round groups" during matches, but no pics. There's always that 1 that ruins it.

Only 100 yards, but only my 2nd time shooting a bolt rifle. 1st time with the AICS 1.5 for zeroing. This group was with 175gr HSM BTHP. Best group I have ever shot so far. Not sure what the MOA is.

Man, these are some nice shooting.

I had some good luck the day I shot this group. Wish I could do this more often.

I know many here will be quite ready to dismiss my "best group" ever, since it's not long range, but it was when I shot my first "possible" when I was on the University of Georgia's rifle team. 3 position small bore.

The coach, Sgt. Ernie Davis, took my three targets, stapled them together, held them up in front of a light, and all you could see were 10 holes in the dead center of each bull.

Felt good.
 
I have another one "easily dismissed", but felt darn good...
Local bench shooter and I were both at our range warming up for a local "fun match". Him with his $x,xxx benchrest gear, me with my stock Swede M96 Mauser. Just didn't have time to "warm up" anything better. Just for fun I shot my last 5 rounds prone, off a bag, hasty-slinged.

100 yards. 5 shots. 4 in 3/8", the fifth opened it up to 5/8".
I listened to a few minutes of "yer shootin too fast, that barrel'l heat up and throw flyers...", then at a line break we pulled targets...
I showed him.. "Sure enough, I threw one..."
I think I managed to rattle him a little... The next weekend at the "fun match" at 440 yards, he missed one of the five targets... I missed four of course, my eyes can't see the targets over iron sights at 440 yards (oil bottles).

Still.. I still have that target someplace.
Not only is it a great group for an iron sighted swede mauser, but the look on his face when I showed him the target... THAT is what makes it "the best".
 
200yds.
10 x 3 second exposure.
Target appeared in any one of 7 apertures.
