You stated varmit rifles or 22 centerfire as an exception to the suggested shooting ability. I was wondering,why do you think these rifles shoot any better than the bigger bulleted rifles? Just wondered ?I know a lot of guys whom go out each week end and shoot there deer rifles regulary,and also enjoy it as much as the varmit types.They are all fun for sure. vangunsmith
From my own personal experience all my .223 and .22-250 rifles shoot well underr an inch...They are easier to shoot, they have varmint style bullets for them and can shoot target bulklets where my big game rifles don't see those loads...they see big game bullets only.
When it comes to things like my .300 H&H, while it shoots A-Frames very well and I'd think it would show you groups at about 1MOA, I wouldn't bet that the next group I fired wouldn't be 1.5"/100 yards.
Based on personal experience I'd be willing to say that 75% of all folks that claim their big game rifle shoots 1MOA couldn't prove it at a public shoot where all could witness the shooting. Fine groups maybe....but not 1MOA...(1" at 100 yards)
Remember they guy that shoots 3/4" at 200 yards with iron sights?
I had a friend that swore his 7Mag could hit a nickel at 300 yards and when I finally called his bluff he couldn't show a 3" group at 100 yards.
When we believe that today's guns shoot MOA out of the box I'm wondering what they're smoking.....I want some too.
