I've had a few 'precision' rifles over the years but I always sucked pretty bad with them. It was discouraging so I usually have them up pretty quickly and bought another firearm type. But today I surprised myself.
Over a year ago i bought a Remington 700 AAC SD in 308. I've shot it here and there with some surplus Turkish 308 if had laying around. It has been the same story as before 6"-8" groups. Today I changed a few things. I usually shoot off my left shoulder. I'm right handed but left eye dominant. I decided I would give shooting off my right shoulder a try. Another board member gave me 5 rounds of match grade ammo and I gave it a whirl and was quite pleased.
The first shot is the one to the top left of the orange dot. This was a cold bore / cold shooter shot out of a completely scrubbed barrel. The other four shots came in just over .8"! This is incredible for me. I'm super stoked.
I feel like I can work on this. Now there is hope!
