Most Accurate Pistol
 

What is the most accurate target pistol you have ever owned?

Not combat accurate or hunting accurate or plinking accurate, but paper-punching accurate.

When you were doing your job, how accurate was it - I'm looking for some sort of measure, like "3/4" groups at 25 yds" or "five shots in a dime space at 50 feet".

I keep thinking about buying a full-on target pistol, like a Hammerli or similar. Leaning toward a .22LR, to save money on ammo. Unless you guys tell me that standard .22LR will shoot terribly from a target gun.

Ruger Mark II w/ target sigts.

The inaccuracy comes from the operator.

One more vote for the Mk II - if *I* have to be the one that owns it.

Most accurate I've held? Well, right now the shop I list auctions for has a Hammereli Trailslide up... here's the factory target. 5 shots at 25 meters.

jyl - just noticed you may be in Cali... if you'd like to bid, I'll get Mike to waive the "no cali sales" clause and ship it to ya...

browning challanger...made in belgium. groups vary with ammo used...but be assured, they are tight.

I have only played with a few guns but when I fired my friends .357 Colt Python it was pretty gosh darn accurate... and real gosh darn purty... and a lot of gosh darn fun to shoot.


And they are awfully gosh darn expensive!

ruger mark III 22/45 stainless fluted 6 7/8" barrel

smith wesson model 617 10 shot stainless 6" barrel .22lr full size frame

both ungodly accurate out of the box. better than 95% of the people that shoot them. ie. the gun is better than them.

havent shot a hammerli....................but i'd like to. they is nice!

+1 on the trailside. I toyed with buying one, but didn't see it as a vast improvement over my Browning.

For local shoots I have:

S & W Model 41 .22
S & W Model 52 .38 auto

Both target guns.
Both will shoot better than you can hold, offhand.

Thompson Center Contender in .357 Herret. It would put the whole magazine into one .357" dia. hole.

+1 for the Mark II

I've shot a Ruger Mk 2(?), it was nice enough. But it wasn't a target model.

Have also shot a SW model 52, it was so nice. I'd put one at 2 o'clock, the owner who was spotting would tell me "down and left" and the next one would go right where it was meant to. Such a controllable gun. But I want a low-hassle, inexpensive to shoot gun - and 32 wadcutter seems neither - I'm willing to spend money up front.

The Hammerli Trailside looks very nice. I live in Oregon now. I will watch the auction.

++ I have the bull barrel model, bought in 1984. It shoots like a dream. I do a lot of "practical" shooting with it and I'm the one responsible for any inaccuracy.

Another vote for the Mk 2. My Ruger Super Single Six is pretty damn accurate also.

gun mfgs. are frantically trying to get rid of inventories prior to election. NOW is the time to purchase.

im sure a hammerli will become a fereign evil assault weapon. if they can make a ******* remington 11-87 and a ruger 10/22 in to black evil assault weapons.....................

ANYTHING IMPORTED or DOMESTIC is up fer grabs if the wrong peoples is elected.

H&K USP45 Match, deadly accurate.

Another Ruger Mk. II - mine with a Clark's Match bull barrel made from a Walther blank. 6 1/4" w/ brake & compensator, match trigger, upgraded pins/bushings, Bo-mars, and a great "Smithin" by Clarks.

How much for all the work...sounds very interesting:)

Most accurate: FAS 602. I could keep five shots offhand in a sub two inch group at 25 yards. The pistol was capable of much better than that but I wasn't. I'm guessing that from a ransome rest it would have had all five shots touching. Nowadays I use a classic Hammerli 208 for target shooting. It's almost as accurate but I think it has a higher cool factor:cool:

If you can try a Feinwerkbau P56 Olympic air pistol or a Hammerli FP-60 falling-block in .22 and report back... simply amazing

Sig p210 is legendary
