One more go. The BR rifle in 6ppc could shoot with the same accuracy at a score target. But in HBR game the 6PPC is not allowed hence the 1/4" group instead the 1/10". Either gun is made up with the same precision, but is not shooting with the same ammo. There are Varmint for score matches where you can use the same rifle for score or group shooting.
HBR Score shooting is mostly done with a 30x47 or something with a 45.5gr water volume. So much form score and group shooting.
Can you really have one and not the other? I don't think so. A broken down scope is bad news for precision shooting. It like the chicken and the egg. If you want eggs you need a chicken. if you want chickens you need eggs.
I didn't say that the scope was broken. I said it was off. As in not set so that point of impact and point of aim are the same. That would very much result in precision lacking accuracy. If you choose to correct that then you would have both, but when it comes to the terminology, if the scope is not set correctly, then the grouping will be precise but not accurate (despite how easy it might be to make it both).
As to having accuracy without precision. Happens all the time. It's called a lucky shot. If a drunken slob staggering about can throw up his rifle and hit bullseye offhand at 100 yards, then that was an accurate shot. Can he do again though? And again? Doubtful. Though the shot was accurate, the group as a whole lacks precision.
As to each being "made with the same precision", with that your'e going into a different direction. Phrased in that manner you're talking about accuracy and precision of the manufacturing process, not the shots themselves. Completely different thing. H&R accurately makes their rifles (the rifles come down the assembly line looking like a Handi and not a Ruger
), but they are not as precisely made as an Encore for example (if they were then you could just swap barrels without having them fitted, because they would be duplicating each rifle with more consistent tolerances).
