[QUOTE="DJ Fergus, post: 1582427, member: 93895"] Let's just say a fellow goes and buys himself a factory rifle with a 1/2 moa guarantee. He tries 5 or maybe 10 different types of ammo. He finds a brand/ type of ammo that shoots 1/2 moa pretty consistently at 100 yards. The manufacturer meets their guarantee but as alot of us know that the ammo manufacturer doesn't have to guarantee they won't change the recipe for that ammo. They don't guarantee they won't quit making that ammo. But just say your factory rifle shoots 4 out of 5 different types of factory ammo into 1/2 moa. You better hang on to that marvel. I've saw factory rifles hover around 3/4 moa @ 100 yards with cherry picked factory ammo but extreme spread was so high that it opened up bad vertically as close as 400yds. Everyone wants to shoot 1/2 moa or better, I understand that. Does everyone really need 1/2 moa? Probably not. For me to be able to confidently shoot 1/2 moa or better day in day out in hunting situations, I must load my own ammo and not rely on factory loaded ammo. Different strokes for different folks. I just personally think that if you need gauranteed 1/2 moa from a sporter weight rifle without a shadow of a doubt day in day out with factory ammo then you may have to go thru several factory rifles to find one that will do that or move into the realm of a built custom rifle.
