[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 324935, member: 2736"] !/4 to 1/2 MOA @ !,000 Yards is just wishful thinking. But I would like to think that most people that claim to have a 1/2 MOA hunting rifle realise that that is at 100 to 200 yards and under perfect conditions and 3 to 5 perfectly matched loads. I base the performance of all rifles hunting or match on there performance at 100 yards because the shooter has less effect on group size at that distance and it "Only" shows what the rifle is capable of not what you can expect every time under real hunting conditions. If a rifle shoots a 1/2 " group once it is capable of doing it again but not likely to do it every time even at 100 yards. As to the claimed group size It is like every thing else that a person does he refers to his personal best not the worst he ever did, So I find no fault in a person saying his rifle will shoot 1/2 MOA groups as long as he realizes that it does not mean it can every time. We all kid ourselves by thinking/hopping that our rifles will perform as well under hunting conditions as it did at the range with a good rest and no pressure to make a perfect shot. So like the other posters I would recomend that a person not set himself up for disappointment by thinking that there rifle and there abilities will allow them to shoot 1/2 MOA at 1000 yards much less at 1500 yards. Just some comments from an old target shooter and hunter. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
