[QUOTE="pontoon, post: 1156778, member: 91473"] It shoots a tiny bit under 1 MOA in a benchrest. That's from the factory so with some mods it should shoot better. I read from one source that shortening the rifle might actually increase the accuracy. It will affect the velocity a little, so it might introduce a little bit of error into the ballistics calculations (e.g. I might guess 2930 and it's actually 2920) unless I were to use a chronograph. One of the biggest reasons I want to shorten it is actually weight not length. It's a very light rifle at 5 lbs 10 ounces (probably less now that I switched the trigger guard to aluminum), and I want to make it lighter. [/QUOTE]
