I never shoot five shot groups with my deer rifles. I have never shot at the same deer three times and can see no reason to require my rifle or myself to put five shots in a tiny group. A good test for hunting accuracy for my big game rifles is to take them out several times, get set up good and steady and fire two or three shots. If they all come within an inch and a half of my point of aim at the range I am shooting, then that rifle will perform in the field. I am pretty happy with a rifle that will always or almost always shoot a group of two inches where none miss the point of aim by more than 1 1/2 inches. I had a 788 Remington in 308 once that would almost never shoot better than a 3 inch group. However it never missed the center of the target by more than that 1 1/2 inches. I never missed a deer with that rifle and I shot a lot of them with it. My rifles as a rule, group better than I am capable of holding them.
