Can't complain about 100 yard 3-shot groups like that from a brush bustin big bore not made for accuracy.
I've read posts from shooters bragging about groups twice that size at 50 yards.
I buy good quality equipment and the other side of that coin is that I expect good results.
Lots would be happy with the 2 1/2" 3-shot @ 100 yard groups I achieved earlier in the week with the Win 94/450 at 50 yards but I'm not.......not after dropping $1200 on the counter!
I got less than 1" @ 100 yard groups consistently with the Browning BLR/450 that I replaced the scope on this morning. I shot 2 x @20 round boxes of the Hornady 450 Marlin 325 grain FTX ammo with it. Cadillac guns don't seem to kick as much as their more modest pedigree counterparts.......probably because of the Pachmayr recoil pad.
I'm going to try the Win 94TE/450 with different ammo tomorrow.
Will drop it off at my gun smiths for a trigger hone job next week.
