[QUOTE="220s, post: 1235304, member: 91230"] Have had my Sako quad for nearly 10 years and cant fault it. Sporter weight barrels and they will all shoot moa or better. The HMR is the least effected by wind but you need a very calm day if you want to shoot Moa at 200. With a good hmr ammo quality is the accuracy limitation, most batches will shoot moa but many not that much better than moa. Ocasionally you will luck onto a batch that your rifle really likes, when you do stock up. I recently found a batch that averaged just over 0.5moa in my rifle with 3 different shooters. I carry the hmr regularly around the farm, because it is what I have at hand it gets used on things far bigger than the designers ever intended. Ive used it to dispatch dogs harassing stock that would weigh up to 100lbs and dropped them on the spot. But on anything more than about 10lbs you need to hit the brain to be certain of dropping them instantly. Ive also had some catastrophic failures when the tiny bullet hasn't gone exaxtly where it was intended. [/QUOTE]
