The gun in question:
The grouping:
The gun was shot at a distance of 5 meters, free hand. Grouping was around 4 inches.
Turns out to be around 80 minutes of angle!
Good thing I didn't pay for it...

Maybe try free floating the barrel, that may tighten up your groups, are you using hand loads or factory ?
Lots of variables to work with mate !

If the situation ever turns to the point where we loose our guns, or we can't hunt (at the very least) pest species, I'm getting a one way ticket to America.
You're welcome. That was the exact reaction I was aiming for.

I'm not being sarcastic. To my understanding, America is the land of guns. I've heard some states have strict gun laws, but the general rule is guns are far more commonplace than in Australia. My point being is I'd be able to go hunting, compared to the hypothetical Australia where we would not be able to.
Am I right?

You need to meet more Americans GriMo, I know more than a few that hunt with pistols from squirels through to bears.
