Default RE: Practical accuracy

I agree also. I have never been a sub-moa at long distance shooting. My grandfather and my father told me wisely that if you can hit in a 6 inch circle at 200 yards then your good to go. It all has to do with being able to hit that game animal in the kill zone from field positions.

Amazingly I tend to shoot better with open sights than with a scope on shots of 125 yards or less, and if I am shooting with my .30-06 Model A3-03 with a peep and post I can hit consistently in a 6 inch circle at 350 yards.

So unless you are trying to take head shots at 300 yards then sub-moa, or even 1.5" groups really does not mean as much to me(just my opinion).
