[QUOTE="Natty Bumpo, post: 486767, member: 10106"] You're getting Sapphire's hopes up too much. Dealer shelves are not overflowing with sub-MOA guns. I've got a few over the counter guns that will consistently put 3-5 bullets inside of an inch at 100 yards with a decent load. I've also got a few guns that will [I]occasionally[/I] perform like that, but that realistically are more like 1.25" to 1.5" guns. Unless your rifle comes with a guarantee, don't be disappointed if you can't get much better than 1.5" at 100 yards out of it. I've been to a few tactical and F-Class shoots over the last couple years; shooting 5-shots prone w/ bipod at 100 yard intervals out to 800 yards. For all the internet chat I read about everyone's sub MOA or 1/2 MOA rifles, when it comes time to score targets, I don't see many sub MOA rifles out there (or should I say rifle shooters?). By the way, for the last several years, I've been using a Ruger M77 in .25-06 for all my deer hunting. Have killed several deer from 40 to 200 yards with it. It's no more than a 1.5 MOA gun. Not my first choice for putting holes in paper at 500 yards, but plenty precise for the type of deer hunting I do. [/QUOTE]
