That's probably true, many rifles when you work up the right load shoot good. But I only have taken this one out twice and so far it has shot good with whatever bullet I used, the 250 gr lehigh and the 200 gr shockwave. I haven't even experimented to find the full potential of the gun. I have a Triumph and others that shoot excellent but they didn't do it without a lot of experimenting. And I think there are a lot of other factors that for me anyway justify that I got a good gun and it's well worth the price. Looks, craftsmanship, quality,accuracy, American made and other things. Things like that have value for me also.
