I can't shoot a 12 round group at 50 yards like that with my .44 mag R92 and Weaver Scout Scope.

well, I was talking about my .44 mag R92 shooting off a rifle designed bag on the bench too. I'll admit to having to deal with some unexpected physical issues in the past 4-5 years, so I can honestly only say what it is now.

Off a bag??? Doubt I could do that with a Ransom rest??
Seriously, off of anything, 50yd's, short tube, That's very impressive.
