Barry (Rockinbbar) I normally enjoy your posts and for the most part agree with you. Heck, I wish Savage would upgrade the scope selection too, and was just thinking about it earlier this week. I also believe in standing up for friends, but even friends say and do stupid things now and then, and rather than defend it, I will either point it out or let it slide. However, I won't defend rediculous or exaggerated statements or behavior. I shoot a lot and have shot with some exceptionally good marksmen both for fun and competition. I can usually hold my own. Shooting half inch groups or better is what I expect from most of my rifles or they get sent down the road. I also live in one of the most windy places in the entire nation. In other words I shoot a lot in the wind. With that said, Gary might be one heckuva a nice guy and good shot, but methinks his statement of a .6" group in a 20mph crosswind, with Barnes fly-weight gernade bullets, using that reticle might just be a tad exaggerated. Perhaps his decimal point was a typo and should have been one to the right. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gifEven if he did shoot it, I guarantee it's not something he or anyone else could consistantly repeat with those parameters. I would also bet it was a 3 shot group or less. Sorry but with all due respect, I find his claim extremely hard to believe.
