[QUOTE="LouBoyd, post: 501241, member: 9253"] My point was that a new shooter with a new (to them) rifle is likely to blame the rifle and be in denial about their own shooting skills. Rifles may get blamed for ammo which isn't right for the rifle. A Browning A-Bolt isn't a benchrest rifle, but the ones I've had experience with aren't nearly as bad as the results the OP was describing. There is a problem with Internet shooting diagnostics. Everyone can guess what the problem might be, but even an expert needs to shoot a rifle (or observe someone else shooting it) to know what the problem really is. On this site (and others) some people seem to think they can buy a rifle by reputation or manufacturer's claims and it will guarantee they'll achive good long range accuracy. It just doesn't work that way. Many manufacterers will guarantee sub-moa at 100 yards. But thats with one of their staff doing the shooting and not in windy conditions. Some provide test tagets to prove the rifle is capable, but what does one 3 or 5 shot group really mean to a hunter? To think that any manufacturer will guarantee sub-moa accuracy in the hands of any shooter in any condititions is silly. Shooting sub-noa at 100 yards is not the same as shooting sub-moa at 500 to 1000 yards. Practice shooting at 100 yards is not the same as practice at 500 to 1000 yards either. The differences include doping wind, determining ammo characteristics, and a more thorough understanding basic ballistics. [/QUOTE]
