Price vs accuracy in precision rifles

Thought I’d share this graph of the 25 competitors we’ve had shoot the Backfire Accuracy Challenge. There is a slight correlation forming between price of the system and accuracy of the precision rifle. At the same time, plenty of outliers.

Great Data.. So who’s sub $2500 and sub .5 MOA inquiring minds would like to know :man_facepalming::face_with_tongue:

Be interesting to see how rifles that cost $1k or less would show up on that graph.

Should also normalize it for weight and kinetic energy to see if spending more money beats the average

@backfire It would be great if somehow you could publish a link to this data to your “members only” website, especially if it was interactive and you could click or hover over a dot to get the details about everything in the build, and the experience of the shooter, ammo choice (factory vs. reloaded) etc.

No prob! You can get it right here Backfire Accuracy Challenge – Backfire

Yep, shoulda had people shoot a 5x5 but the trend line applies, and getting marginally better gear to beat the trend also seems to work to an extent. Litz’s data is a bit cleaner because they used the same group of shooters for all the rifles probably.
