    From accurateshooter.com:
    12.4 mm for 40 Shots at 50m — New Record at Eley Test Center

    Two new 50m rimfire 40-shot group size records were set last week at the Eley test range in Fellback (Stuttgart), Germany. This range employs an electronic target system that automatically calculates shot placement with great precision. The rifles are secured in clamping fixtures. On January 21st, a new 13.2 mm record was set, follow by an even-better 12.4 mm record (that’s 0.488″). The previous record was 13.3 mm set in 2007.

    I'm pretty damn happy to get that for individual ten shot groups! Would be very interesting to see what shooting a rifle that accurate is like.

    My first thought would be that it'd be a bit nervewracking - you wouldn't have anything to blame a bad shot on :D

    I think I'd take my chances with that kind of cruel reality. "See that 9.9? I had to screw up so much worse than you to get that!"
