Last week I fired this target with my M98 Mauser in 7x57. 100 yards scoped and benched. Load is 150 gr Sierra Game King soft point, ahead of IMR4350, all 4 shot groups. First group fired was low and right, made a correction to the scope, fired one more sighter near target center and shot the upper left group.
Last group fired is but .23" c-c best I could measure by that method. Average of all 5 groups including the one called flyer is only .62". Toss out that flyer and the avg is only .487" for the 5 groups.
I consider this outstanding accuracy from an out of the box factory hunting rifle. Granted, these are not your average Remmy or model 70, Savage in performance or cost, they are a step above the fray.
This is the best target I have fired from this rifle that almost always shoots well under MOA. Certainly, the most accurate 7x57 I have owned among many.
