That sort of statement is made quite often by F-Class shooters who I'm afraid to say don't know what they're talking about. In the same way that F-Classers go to great lengths to extract a poofteenth better accuracy out of there equipment, TR shooters will also benefit to some degree by improving every aspect. All else being equal, a TR shooter with only marginally better equipment accuracy will score better.
If I was shooting TR, it would have a scope rail on it, and a good part of testing would be done using a scope sight, and front and rear rests, to reduce sighting and holding errors and concentrate purely on rifle accuracy. Of course this isn't ideal, because both a scope and sling may affect harmonics, but unlikely to be enough to negate the benefits.
Yeh, Alan, I get it quite often. And not just from f class shooters.
I do use a scope for development, thanks to a comment from you about 12 months ago, and it's made a big difference to my scores. With the old barrel I did the load development with the front sight on upside down, but witn this new barrel I think I'll give this new line of thinking a go.
