[QUOTE="CMP70306, post: 1868117, member: 36999"] I would say that ammunition probably has had the greatest effect out of all the advancements since the 1920’s. I look at my two Pre-64 Model 70’s, a 1941 Standard rifle in 30-06 and a 1955 Bull Gun in .300 H&H with a 15x Unertl scope as examples of this. Back in the day a rifle such as my 06 would be considered a good shooter if it shot less than 2 moa with good ammo. These days with my hand loads I am able to regularly print groups around 1/2 moa with the original 79 year old barrel. Same with the Bull Gun though the groups on that tend to be closer to 1/4 moa when I do my part. [/QUOTE]
