Machine rests?
This thread sound like a fishing forum.

All my rifle targets have been shot outdoors. The only indoor shooting I do is with handguns. My old club that I belonged to for 30 years had a 200 yard rifle range and one of the clubs I currently belong to has a 300 yard range.
I have never used a machine rest - just a bunch of sandbags. The 25 yard and 50 yard groups are gettable all day long with the CZ453 but the 100 yard groups are less frequent obviously - mostly do to me, the wind, the weather or whatever.
I will be perfectly honest - until I bough this rifle I did not think accuracy like this was even achievable. Up until I purchased the CZ, the most accurate rifles I have shot were the Browning T Bolt and an Anschutz (don't recall the model as it was not mine). Since getting this CZ I have not been able to match the groupings with any other rifle, regardless of cost - although I have certainly tried. I have shot my CZ for 20 years now and I am certainly quite comfortable with it. That was the whole purpose behind the thread. If you don't believe this is possible and doubt my word - that is certainly your choice. No one here can control what you think but I have no reason to BS anyone. I have never in all the years posting here, misrepresented a target and I do post a few from time to time. I am NOT bragging but I consider myself a pretty darn good shot. At 70 years old and using only iron sights I can usually outshoot anyone with a handgun with a red dot or laser. The only two scopes I own are both on 22 rifles and I do not own any optical or electronic sights at all. I was the only shooter on my club's pistol team that shot with factory iron sights. I still do not wear glasses (except cheaters for reading) and I do not fish!
Here are some other targets that I saved over the years and they are all true as to what is written on the targets. Some of them were done with friend's guns that I had never shot before including splitting a playing card with a Colt 22 Peacemaker. Some were shot with my own guns. There is one target shot with my CZ 453 at 175 feet - the longest target we had set up in my friends yard that day. We only measured it after I shot - hence the strange shooting distance. Again, not trying to brag - but I can shoot.
