Minor clarification, the No. 4 accuracy standard was 4 out of 5 shots had to hit a rectangle 1 inch wide by 1.5 inches tall at 100 feet. That translates to 3 x 4.5 inches at 100 yards (4.5 MOA). And this was fired off a rest with a telescope. Didn’t matter where the 5th shot landed… The No. 4 also had a 200 yd accuracy test for 10% of rifles. 6 out of 7 shots had to fall inside a rectangle 6 x 6 inches. That’s 3 MOA. |
This is a ten shot group from the French Resistance No4Mk1 through the original rear sight. If you were able to move that group down and center it, you are going to see that it is shooting just under 2" at 100 yards. The rifle is basically new and was unfired until I purchased it. The bedding is as it left the factory and is grouping shots accordingly...
