Machine rests?
Obviously, a one hole group isn't going to happen every time at the range, but it's not all that rare. Here's a few targets I shot last week while testing some ammo... these are all 5 shot groups (except for the single - wrong target) at 50 yards off the bench. Bald Eagle bench rest with soft bags at the rear. Outdoor range, zero value wind at 2-4mph.



You have to be disciplined in your approach, and consistent in your shooting techniques. That's the hard part. The other challenge, especially with .22s is the consistency of the ammo. I get regular flyers with CCI SV, but it's very good for the cost, and I'm not competing seriously so it's my main general use ammo. From my recent testing, it looks like Norma Match 22 is going to shoot well in my rifle, but it's an ongoing process...

The shots above are out of my Tikka T1X, which is my best shooting .22LR.



I also have a CZ 457, which is close, but not quite as good. It's pretty much my wife's gun at this point...
