I can't group consistently at all with my Noveske N4. With cheap Russian ammo, I'll get 5-shot groups sub-MOA once every blue moon. However, being cheap, steel cased ammo, it's inconsistent and I'll also get 3+ MOA groups and everything in between as well. I figured with match grade stuff, I could reach sub-MOA consistently. Well, I bought some Ultramax 68gr HP which is supposed to be match grade ammo, albeit low end. I fired two 5-round groups today and both grouped right over 2 MOA.
I realize my carbine isn't set up for super precision shooting, but I'm confident that I'm skilled enough to shoot sub-MOA groups. I'm doing what I think is the right thing. I'm loading the bipod, using a rear bag, have a consistent cheek weld, am holding the pistol grip so that my finger moves parallel to the trigger, squeeze during my natural respiratory pause, and I'm following through. The scope is only a 4x, but you don't need much magnification to shoot sub-MOA at 100 yards.
The carbine in question is shown below:
Here are two 5-group groups I've fired in the past:
My friend recently bought a Remington 700 5R .308 that I fired a 0.654 MOA 5-shot group with FGMM out of it my very first time behind the trigger on it.
Even today in freezing temperatures and while snowing, I clovered 3 rounds that my friend reloaded (his first reloads) on a target I could barely see.
Using the same techniques, I can't even come close to achieving the same results, even when shooting both weapon systems back to back. What else do I need to do? Do I need to change my gas gun shooting technique? Am I missing something?
ETA: Before you blame the Chinese optics, both guns have Millet scopes. A DMS-1 and TRS-1, respectively.
