I don't think I need to pick any sides. I can understand and accept both ways of looking at it. There are many ways of using the rifle and for my practical needs with a sporting rifle, I don't need to argue the 1/16 of a MOA of accuracy at 500 yards. Make no mistake, I don't NEED to be right on this or any other topic on this forum. I am just presenting ideas, from a guy that knew a thing or two about hunting and the rifle.

And this might be addressing another thread but it applies here as well... For me as a hunter with a sporting rifle, if I can put 4 bullets in one hole at 100 yards with factory ammo, or 2"MOA at 300 yards, I am impressed and that rifle/ammo has surpassed all my expectations for a light weight hunting rifle. In fact I am thrilled and reading 30 years of gun magazines, if they were reviewing it, they would be impressed as well. I have seen bench rest guns at my club with more money in them not do as good. The pursuit of accuracy is never ending and you have to say where you have reached your acceptable goal. My expectations might be unimpressive to some but it doesn't really matter as long as I am happy and get the job done in the woods. In the end they are just tools to enjoy.



I have explained everything I could say on the topic...... Thank you for your participation.
