I hope that angry dude shows back up to tell us how manly he is because he drinks black coffee. That's the spice this general needs.

>what do you consider precision shooting
Hitting small targets with your first shot. Not that there isn't a great amount of skill to dialing in long range shots, but I think it's more impressive to read the terrain and put a single shot on target.

Though it takes a few thousand rounds of dialing in shots to get to that point.

Does shooting .22 at 300m count as precision shooting?

Yeah, sure. If your groups dont suck.

Any shooting with a sub moa rifle

how perfectly timed does a muzzle brake need to be for a precision rig? my smith eyeballed it but i checked using bubble levels and its just slightly off.

>What do you consider precision shooting?
Accuracy and repeatability. Yes I am impressed with cloverleaf, mickey mouse shaped and single overlapping groupings. I would rather shoot with another person and be happy if we're both pinging plates with 1 moa and having fun.
>Long distances?
Usually when this comes to mind I consider it starting around 600m/y and further out.
>Good ground?
Wet ground, dry ground, water raining and covering me and the ground, sun baked 100+ degree ground it doesn't really matter to me. Snow covered ground is my favorite.
>First shot hits?
Never really shoot for coldbores anymore. I have and log them seasonally but waiting 30 minutes between shots, no never. I like to shoot with a hot barrel not 60 round dumps or anything like that. I will normally load up 5-10 and go for 3-5 seconds between firing. Then wait for a bit and settle in to shoot.

>t's more impressive to read the terrain

WHUT? Read the terrain so you don't shoot into a hillside by mistake?

Gimme bipod
where gets?

>where gets?
Not mine pretty sure they are Atlas bipods. Could be wrong.

Figure of speech, not literal terrain. Wind, distance, elevation, etc.

>grounds
Meant groups but you kind of answered that.

kek okay whatever you say tough guy

>Meant groups but you kind of answered that.
Right on, that's my answer then.
That your rifle in the OP image? If so I like the coloring.

Nah, just googled for an OP pic

Am I the only one that doesn't put Loctite on the optic mount screws?

>okay whatever

Why wouldn't you?

Missed the Rimfire edition, so sorry if this has been covered. I’m looking for a .22 bolt gun that can serve as a good suppressor host, and maybe do double duty as a small game gun (although that is secondary). I’m looking chiefly for accuracy. I was contemplating the Ruger American Rimfire Target for that sweet, sweet bull barrel, but I can’t find many reviews on the Target specifically. If y’all have any input, or know of another kickass .22, please let me know.

Why would I with modern manufacturing and a torque device?

Not very.

In fact, if you are right handed, a SLIGHT bias toward 1 o'clock will make it more effective.

Jesus she's thicc. She has THE fattest booty and my god, them thighs.

Next buy: bipod
After that: muzzle brake

Don't fall for the magpul meme. The reviews aren't great, non-adjustable legs is a show stopper.

Get the muzzle brake that works with whatever can you might see yourself using in the future. And have a smith who is familiar with PRs install it.

>I had a smith make my .5 MOA rifle a 2 MOA rifle with a shit thread job.

I was thinking a Harris with notches and swivel. And the muzzle already is threaded with a protector installed currently, I need to decide on a 6.5 brake first though

Solid choice, don't forget a KMS pod loc lever and ADM picatinny adapter.

Or just get the LaRue Harris and get everything in one go.

What would I need a picatinny adapter for? I have swivel studs. Genuine question btw

You wouldn't, my mistake.

Unless you wanted to add a pic rail for more secure lockup. Studs have been known to rotate the bipod, or rip out on occasion.

Gotcha. I saw a pic rail attachment by atlas that uses the two swivel studs as bolts to hold it to the stock. Would that be better?

Sounds like a good setup to me.

As long as you don't mind giving up the rear stud for a sling.

Not that guy, but I'm pretty sure I have the same rifle as him.
The particular Bergara he has comes with swivel stud holes on both sides of the stock itself for a sling.

Will AI release a mlok handguard?
