[QUOTE="CB11WYO, post: 1076148, member: 57339"] Cohunter, To my way of thinking... your rifle's grouping capability DOES become more of a factor when the size of the target/kill zone becomes SMALLER than the rifle's grouping ability at "X" distance. For instance a 1 MOA rifle trying to hit a 1/2 MOA gong at long range would have lower percentages than a scenario where the rifle's capability is tighter than the intended target's size, again at "X" distance. my .02 anywho... Wow, that was clear as mud :D Had another thought... So basically if I were new to LR and building a new rifle... I would look at the size of the intended target/kill zone at the max distance I would like to shoot/kill it at and then build my rifle to be able to shoot groups equal to or smaller MOA-wise than that, then spend the rest of my energy mastering wind reading, shooting techniques, etc... Whether I'm shooting steel, milk jugs, X-rings, deer vitals, or the broad-sides of barns lol [/QUOTE]
