I had the privilege of spending quite a number of hours/days with the Forslund brothers, 2 of the best BR shooters this province has ever seen, so I've seen the lengths people go, to eek out a few thousandths in a 5 shot group. Fact is, 99% of regular shooters/hunters would/could never realize that difference, even if that caliber of gun(Pardon the pun) was placed in their lap; me included. Reason being, even if you master the rifle(the easiest part of the equation) you will get used ugly style by atmospheric conditions, which is what really seperates the men from the boys, if you will.
I SPENT a LOT of time with twins ! I even shot some ( un OFFICIAL) WORLD record size groups in the under ground range ! I built my first 2 rifles with them when they Lived in Vernon before moving to CheeryVille ! The first a 243 Win and the then a 22-250 Rem . Many years ago now ! Meet them in Vernon when they moved in from Edgewood ! Cheers RJ
