"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." James B

I agree. I've never taken 3 successive shots at anything except paper.
I've hunted many years. I have taken a second shot at a deer once. I have taken a third shot at a deer once.
The deer I shot at twice was my very first deer, a fat little doe.....I thought I missed her on the first shot but upon recovery I knew the first shot did the trick. Second shot (on the then running deer) missed.
The only other deer that I shot at more than one time was a little buck. I had made a bad first shot on his leg (operator error), took an ill'advised second snap shot (missed) when I jumped it on the track, and then placed the third, coup-de grace, when I caught up to do the right thing.
Our hunting rifles need to shoot a consistently predictable first shot, and a follow-up second shot that doesn't string or walk. A third would be nice.
Five is asking for a bench rest rifle. I have nothing against bench rest rifles. I have one hunting rifle that could probably become one with some time and money spent. Just not really necessary for my hunting needs though.

James and I must own the very same guns
