Duration: 4:28

This guide details a 100-yard prone accuracy test for bolt-action rimfire rifles, as demonstrated by Joel from Precision Rifle Network. The technique emphasizes stable prone shooting with a bipod and uses the Ballistic-X app for precise group measurement. This method provides a reliable assessment of a rifle's inherent accuracy potential, accounting for variables like wind and shooter consistency.

Quick Summary

In a 100-yard prone accuracy test using SK Match ammunition and a bipod, the CZ 457 (in an MDT chassis) achieved a 0.28 MOA group, while the Tikka T1X produced a 0.88 MOA group, indicating superior accuracy for the CZ 457 in this specific scenario. This rematch aimed to correct for previous testing under suboptimal wind and bench conditions.
