I thought of this analogy:So I'm a bit lost...did the definition of accuracy get changed or something? Last i knew, it ment you hit what you aimed at..which would be the center circle of the target. The cheaper tiasas pretty much did that compared to the high dollar colt.
Let’s say you build an AR15 and use the absolute best parts you can. You buy the “most accurate ammo” money can buy and head to the range.
You shoot your first group and only see 1 hole in the target @ 1,000 yards. Closer observation and checking video shows, that hole holds all your shots BUT, it’s a foot low and to the right 3".
Is your rifle accurate?
Okay, so, you move the sights and get it hitting dead center and now, you are puttin ever single bullet, through the same hole in the center of the target. Is your rifle accurate now?
A buddy walks up with a heavier bullet that his rifle shoots great and gives you 5 rounds to shoot. You do and still have that one hole @ 1,000 yards BUT, your group is now high by a foot and 3” left. Knowing you’ll never carry those loads and will probably never shoot any again, do you make a sight adjustment to make them hit center of the target? Is your rifle still accurate?
Don’t confuse the two…accuracy and sight adjustment are two completely different animals.
