Accuracy/Precision/repeatability/etc

HEY GUYS: Being an old Forester that has spent a life time playing in the woods, can cause one to be confused easily. If my hunting rifle will shoot 1/2 to 3/4" at 100 yards with 3 shots and will shoot 2"or less at 300 yards Im happy cause I can twist the knobs to hit dead on the bullseye. However my 6.5x55 tight neck benchrest rifle had better shoot 5 shots under .250 or I clean it. Then to confuse everything my old single shot Ruger # 1, 270 cal. must hit the bullseye at 300 yards within a 3" circle, first time out of a cold barrel. My old SWISS k-31 shot 1 1/4 inch groups at 100 yards with ball and iron sights. it now shoots 1/2 to 3/4" groups with handloads cause I put an SK scope mount and a bushnell pistol scope on the thing. To me accuracy is in the eye of the shooter. Repeatabily is if you practice, precision is knowing where your bullet is at all times in its flight and adjusting for wind and kill zone size. SHOOT STRAIT AND OFTEN.
