These kinds of comparisons always upset me. You don't include any parameters or criteria for the testing. For instance: The XLT had the tighest groups, but you don't give the group sizes. It might have been 1/8" difference which is negliglegible and could have resulted from tamping the powder differently on the second place gun. The point is, you need to give the data. You also need to give the powder used, the sabots ( I assume you used sabots, you don't say) you used, the conditions at the time of the testing, whether or not you used the manufacturers' open sights or if you mounted sights. This is really a pretty lame test without this info. Now, if the online test information was a Reader's Digest version of what was in the magazine, then shame on Traditions and I apologize to you. However, you shouldn't let them publish an obviously biased abridged verison like this on their site without a disclaimer. Sincerely, Jim Sorrentino, Tennessee & recent owner of a Pursuit II XLT.
