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?
No matter the accuracy of a gun it will never be displayed without the shooter doing their part. I don't agree with accuracy making up for lack of practice at the range but I do agree that I would not accept poor accuracy just because a kid will be using it. I dont feel that 2" groups are poor accuracy for a deer rifle, but then again rarely will I ever have a shot over 150 yards anywhere I hunt.
