[QUOTE="Weaver93, post: 2393313, member: 120245"] In my opinion (and that is all it is) .25-.5 MOA accuracy on a bench is just a means to grade the predictability of your equipment. I don't know that .25 MOA is any more relevant to a actual field scenario than 1 MOA is as long as both are predictable and repeatable. Many argue and say it is **** important on an elk at 700-800 yards, but in my thinking by the time you add in the environmental elements and the crazy things a wild animal does at the last minute, one facet of the whole stone seems irrelevant if taken by itself. It simply means you have made one unpredictable piece of the puzzle predictable. PRS is the same, a predictable rifle just takes one thing off your mind. I shoot almost exclusively off a bench because I do not hunt much and I have a couple rifles that will predictably shoot .5 MOA, but when I do hunt groundhogs with my buddy he tends to smoke me because he shoots his 1 MOA rifle off fence posts and hay bales almost exclusively.
