2" at 100 yards from a discount rifle isn't too shabby and certainly huntable.
Absolutely not. But if I happen to see a deer in the foodplot at 400 yards and that particular rifle is handy, I don't want to have to pass over it just because it won't shoot well wnough to take the shot. Within reason, I expect all my rifles to shoot good enough for anyone to use. I also don't want to adopt the attitude that since my daughter will be shooting it, its accuracy isn't important. If anything, the less trigger time a shooter has, the more accuracy they need from the gun, no?
