Lee - I think the accuracy issue has gotten out of hand.And I would guess that it allwas started by some gun writer in a magazine somewhere.Now don't take that as a complaint. I think every shooter in the world strives for the best accuracy he can get. And this 'attitude' has probably resulted the the many advancements we have today with better rifles, bullets, powders, etc.
I would be more than happy with 2 MOA accuracy with any rifle, ML or not.
Now I have a few rifles that will do much better than that (a couple subMOA rifles).
My muzzys are my 'fun guns' and I probably shoot them more than any I own. All but one I shoot are traditional rifles with open sights. And on a good day, I can punch a 3 shot ragged hole in the target at 50 yards with most of them using the right load. My only scoped one is the Genesis that normally shoots 2" groups with the occasional 1 1/2" group.
My idea of accuracy in today's world is a centerfire capable of shooting 1" groups and a ML capable of 2".
But in actuality, I think any rifle that can shoot 2"-3" groups is good for hunting under normal hunting conditions (shots <200 yds).
