I don't think I could ever get interested in short range benchrest, now if we are talking 300, 600 and 1000 yard oh yeah. Even at 100 those guys shot some pretty remarkable groups even at club level. My best 5 shot group ever was with a .204 Ruger and measured in the twos and now I regret not framing that group. It was 99% pure luck and I have never gotten lower than mid threes since and those are rare

One thing I always try and stress is that accuracy is relative, we have a thread active here now where a guys is getting some really nice groups at 200 and 300 from a Thompson rifle with a sporter barrel. Shooting .5's and .4s with a target rifle is common but doing it with a off the shelf sporter impresses me.
