Due in no small part to the corrupting influence of the membership here at THR, I bought a .375H&H M70 several year ago. It's been the subject of several questions that y'all have help me with, and I appreciate the input.
It is obviously an extremely capable gun, but at least in my hands it's extraordinarily sensitive to muscle tension. This target is a good illustration. That shot on the left is the first through a cold/fouled bore (and a cold shoulder). The next three are ~1/3MOA, but doing that requires extensive dry-fire in between to re-calibrate muscle tension. This is consistent for me with this rifle; consistent muscle tension always produces <1" groups, but tensing up throws shots 3"+ high and right.
The gun is more accurate than I had any reason to expect. The shooter leaves a lot to be desired, but I'm getting better!
