Default RE: BAR vs. A bolt

Note these are my best groups on a good day at the range,
Those are impressive groups Big Guy but my preference is not to use my best groups to evaluate the accuracy of a gun.Instead I shoot several groups and take the average as it provides a better representation of what you can normally expect from both the gun and the load.I have seen people at the range bragging about their 1/4" gun and waving around a target with a 1/4" group, but when they tried to duplicate it their average group was double or triple the size.After all the bragging they couldn't back up their claims.My most accurate hunting rifle has shot a few groups under 1/4" but it averages 1/2".As such when someone asks how accurate this gun is I tell them it is a 1/2" gun.
