Several low dollar guns shoot just as well or better than some very high priced guns.Take weatherby for example-the low priced vanguard comes with the same 1-1/2" accuracy guarantee as the accumark which costs three times as much.Savages often shoot just as accurately as much more expensive guns.However if you want a rifle guaranteed to shoot 1/2" groups you will pay a premium price although it will still be less than some of the fancy artwork put out by companies such as weatherby and beretta that sell for prices exceeding $4000 or more.
