[QUOTE="ShootnMathews, post: 1171499, member: 59915"] For past 400 yards I really want my gun to shoot 1/2" or better groups. BUT, long range shots here are far and few between. In WV the ridges usually are 300-450 yards apart which makes 98% of shots less than 250 yards. It is not hard to hit a deer at that distance with almost any gun. Although For a clean ethical kill of the animal I always want my gun to shoot the best it can and I always shoot for a broadside double lung shot. So, if it's a gun that I know will only be used at 300 yards or less. I am happy with 1 moa. If I'm going to a spot that a shot may be past 300 I take a gun that shoots at least 1/2 moa. Past 500 I take the gun that I have the most confidence in at that time. Usually one that shoots like Feenix's. [/QUOTE]
