[QUOTE="IdahoCTD, post: 636459, member: 13110"] It depends on the size of the target to some degree. Varmints require a higher degree of accuracy for consistent kills then deer, elk, or moose. Basically if a rifle wont consistently group less than the kill zone of whatever your shooting at the distance your shooting at it then it's not accurate enough IMO (personally I like much better accuracy then that). Consistenly is the key. Just because it shoots 4" at 800yds one day and 16" the next doesn't mean it's a 1/2 MOA gun. Knowing beyond a reasonable doubt your going to hit the animal where you want to hit it is the most important thing. Taking the risk of wounding an animal just to say you hit it at XXXX yds is foolish. [/QUOTE]
