Most people just aren't going to take the effort to jump through all of those hoops. It just takes too much time.
I always think of a 1" group as only missing the point that you are aiming at by 0.5", if you have the group centered where you are aiming. I shoot several 5 shot groups, with...

I did the exact thing. Plenty good for a SHTF/fun-gun. I'm not shooting high-level HP competition, 3-gun matches for a living, or anything where I need to spend pounds of cash to try and squeeze out an extra ounce of performance.

All of my electric keypad safes come with a key that opens it up should the batteries die. I'm surprised that anyone would buy an electronic safe that did not come with a back-up key system. Thanks for sharing.
I have the same rifle, and I agree it is a push and not a punch. I shoot the same bullet at the same speed. The most accurate rifle that I have. I bought the CZ Kevlar carbine version in the same caliber as well. Mostly shoot cast bullets out of mine, but just got a couple hundred of the...
I see that you removed the pictures of your setup (you'd posted 5-6 IIRC). Good thing that I kept the one showing the mounting, and where the un-holstered gun is pointing. The backing material of that car seat is made of 1/4" plywood or pressboard. I bet you "secured" your box with a few wood...
You can put the firearm in the safe with it still in the holster, as I do...it never needs to leave the holster. No sense wearing an empty holster. Nice strawman argument. Those backstops (floor with concrete below, or dashboard with engine block behind) are better than ANY other options...
