18 Shooting Performance 19 Guarantee The shooting precision of a rifle depends on several factors. One very important factor in this respect is the ammunition. Not every barrel shoots with the same efficiency. Considerable performance differences are apparent with each ammunition type. The target sight and its mount are just as important. Parallax, loose reticle, faulty reticle adjustment and inappropriate mount are the most frequent causes of poor shooting performance.
