MG34_DAN - I wouldn't expect that rifle would be selective fire, and I wouldn't think they'd shoot the test target on full auto.

I received two, the first was with an Anschutz position rifle and the second came with a SIG Trailside (built by Hammerli). Both were basically a single 22 caliber hole at 50 meters.

I've had several, but one really stood out. I got a Walther GSP .22 target pistol. The 50 meter test target looked like it had been shot with a rifle.

I remember getting one with a P220 I purchased in 1996.

My first few Sigs purchased in Germany came with test targets - P239/9mm, P229TT/.40, P220/.45, P232SL/.380, and my HK USP-C/.40 did as well (also purchased in Germany). The Glock I bought there did not.

Have a couple of SIGs that came with the test target.
Not sure if my S&W 629DX came with one or not…factory claimed less than an inch at 25yds.
It put the cylinder into 3/4” measuring the outside of the group. Smile

Can’t remember if my Gold Cup Trophy came with a target or not and ALL the boxes are all in the garage, so I’m lazy and not going to look.

Sure...Definitely double digits, perhaps a 'shooters dozen' even! Razz

I got a decent sized pile of West German SIGs (of all flavors!), plus a P226 X5-L1 that all came with one. Cool

Several Sig pistols. All of the Colt Competition AR-15 had one. The target was 100 yards. They didn't let them out the door unless they shot sub Moa. Most were coming in at less than 1/2 Moa they said.

The P226 I purchased in 1985 had a test target and the two West German ones I currently own both have their test targets.

Off the top of my head, several Cooper rifles, my Kimber of Oregon 82C .22LR, an Anschutz .17HMR, and I think my Walther TPH. A Colt Officers Heavy Barrel Target and a Walther PP in .380 that I bought at the Herzo Artillery Base Rod & Gun Club in 1970.

I like test targets. I like to wonder if Stan or Klaus or whoever put their name on the target was hungover that day.

99.9% of German SIGs come with test target.

99.9% of US SIGs come without.

My Walther P99 came with a 25 meter test target. The group size was around 1.5". I regret selling it. They are really nice pistols.
