Several are saying theirs shoots 5-6" groups with ammo it doesn't like, but once you find ammo it does like it gets groups in the 2" range. Just like mine. I've talked to Big Country who claims that the most of them shoot way better than that, and I've talked to one or two other guys that are getting sub moa groups with there's. Granted theirs are the ones with the BOSS system. I talked to several guys at the local gun shops who have told me that if I'm getting 1.5" groups I'm doing great as the ones they've had haven't done anything close to that. Then the last time I was in a gunshop there was a guy in there complaining that he couldn't get his Browning to shoot worth a crap and wanted to know which ammo they recommended he try next. He was using Winchester Ballistic Silver tips. I asked him which Browning he was shooting and he told me the BAR. I explained to him what ammo shot the best for me, but that it still was 1.5"-2" groups. The shop owner said he also had one, and his shot that with the Winchester ballistic tips, but that's about as good as they get.

So when 95% of the people I've talked to, both in person that own them some have even showed them to me, and online are telling me that theirs doesn't shoot any better than 2-3" groups on average, I find it kind of hard to believe that Big Country has as many as he claims to have that shoot sub moa. The evidence from my research just doesn't show them to be as accurate as he claims they are. So I find it hard to believe it's that I can't shoot, when I'm getting just as good of groups as most of the guys that own them that I've talked to are. Like I said I've had 2-3 others tell me theirs shot well too, but they had the newer ones with the BOSS.
Is that really a large enough sample size to make a judgement like that?
