[QUOTE="Bigdog425, post: 2240807, member: 8928"] I have many stock and semi-custom rifles and only 2 will shoot sub MOA at distance consistently (with reloading…and tested with different shooters)…add the dedicated hunters / shooters I associate with and the numbers don’t go up much. Looking at the targets at the nearby range, I rarely see one in the MOA range. Can’t say it doesn’t happen as a friend has an old 270 that will consistently shoot sub MOA at distance with factory ammo. However, I think such rifles are more rare it may appear. Check out NRA magazine or most other magazines that test new rifles. Their tests rarely show sub-MOA results…and they don’t test at distance. Like many other things the “winners” get talked about and posted while people rarely bother to discuss average or sub MOA groupings. Hence, we read about the ones worth posting. To those who have such rifles, congrats on your find and your work to wring out the best they can be. As to the chase for better performance, custom or not, it’s fun to keep working to find even little improvements. Whether it’s 2 MOA to 1.5 or from 1 to 1/2, improvement always brings a smile.
