[QUOTE="Grumulkin, post: 579465, member: 29281"] The Deluxe version should be just as accurate as the Vanguard version but if their guarantee says 1.5 inches they're not going to fix it if the accuracy is worse than that. To appropriately evaluate accuracy claims you need to know: 1. The range accuracy was tested at. 2. How many shots do they use to define a group for testing. 3. Is it factory ammo or ammo made specifically for that gun. Personally, in this day and age I think accuracy in a scoped bolt action rifle that is over 1 inch for 3 shot groups in unacceptable. One of the best accuracy guarantees I've seen is the guarantee of 0.5 inches at 100 yards for 10 shot groups for certain Les Baer rifles using match grade ammo. If I remember correctly, the HS precision is 0.5 inches for custom ammo at 100 yards for their bolt action firearms in calibers of .308 and less. [/QUOTE]
