What kind of groups are you folks firing with these rifles?
I am astonished at the accuracy I am getting.
1/2 MOA or less at 100 meters!!

At 50 yards I shot my personal best so far of .362" 5 shot group. Don't have many chances to shoot 100 yards but in the spring I hope to get to a range that I can use.
Marlin 17VS, CCI Ammo, Simmons 6.5-20x44mm (M1048) and using a Harris BR-Bipod (and a box of Remingto .45 ACP rounds for a rear rest :-D )

Many folks bash the 17HMR but for sheer fun it has to be one of my favorites so far!

My best group so far has been a little more than 3/8 of an inch at 100 yards. I am sure that the gun shoots better than I do! I can hardly wait until spring, so I can go find a few ground squirrels! That should be fun!

best 3-shot group was 3/8 inch at 100 yards with remington vmax. The hornady vmax shot 1/2 inch at 100. I was using a bushnell elite 3200 3x9x40 scope. Very pleased with the accuracy of the combo

This only happened once but I had 3 in the same hole at 100yards the other day with zero wind 45 degrees with my Marlin 17VS!!!
