I have a Mountain Rifle in 7MM-08, and it IS a tack driver, as long as you don't fire long strings of shots andheat up the barrel too much...In a hunting rifle, generally only the first shot or two matter anyway...Given time to cool between shots, my rifle will group under an inch day in and day out..Can't ask for much more in a hunting rifle...

BTW..Just as a topic of interest, a friend showed me a Mountain rifle last night that he had just bought...It's a .280 without a mark on it...It has been fired exactly 6 times..It wore a 3x9 Bushnell and he got it for $450...A real steal considering its condition..Now he cantake the take the money he saved on the rifle and put it toward a REAL scope..
