Machine rests?

This thread sound like a fishing forum.

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.
Had to take my Winchester 52D to that range as I was having trigger issues with it and had it out of the stock. Had to rezero the rifle, this was done at 50 yards with iron sights. Groups are five shots each.

Wish we were all closer together so we could get together and shoot.
