I rarely use my scope and because we hunt in non-man-made blinds, we often need a very quick, off-hand or free-style type shot.
I try to get 2" at 50 and 4-5" at 100 yard groups without a scope freeestyle. I use high rings, so I'm looking under that scope in many situations. Ideally, I want to be twice as close to bullseye, when using my scope..... 1-2" at 50 and 3" at 100...... all freestyle, 50% seated and 50% standing shots at the range.
Still worthwhile for me to hunt, despite a slight body shake and my eyes now 66 years-old -- having bi-focal lenses to look thru.
Not giving up and retiring from hunting just-yet.
