You should be very happy with 5-6 inch groups at 100 yards.
Very few shooters can shoot 1 inch groups and very few do.
I diagree. Even a Model 94 .30/30 will generally shoot better that that. BUT, if you are talking about the shooter rather than the gun, then you have a point, IF we are talking about offhand shooting. Then anything inside of 12" @ 100 yards,
shot offhand, is a good shot!
But let's not confuse matters here. How a shooter performs, and how a gun performs, are apples and oranges! I always remove as much of the HUMAN ERROR as I can when testing guns & loads!
