[QUOTE="bwaites, post: 180444, member: 8733"] Idaho has a weight limit to keep people from using the .50 for hunting. I have seen a single shot .50 light enough to meet the limit, even with a scope and bipod, but I like my shoulder where it is, and didn't even consider it! 3 inch groups at 1000 yards are NOT a function of the rifle. If they happen, they are a function of the shooter who understands his rifle! That said, I think 3" is actually smaller than the world record group at 1000 yards! However, some of it depends on what you use as the group! 3 shots, 5 shots, 10 shots? If I remember correctly, the smallest 10 shot group is right around 4 inches, with a 5 shot group under 2 inches, (Tom Sarver if I remember right) and a 3 shot group smaller than that. None of those were .50's. Bill [/QUOTE]
