[QUOTE="ShtrRdy, post: 1083242, member: 40852"] This probably largely depends on what you're shooting. I've gravitated toward being able to shoot within 1/2" of where I'm aiming, at 100 yds. This is about a 1 moa grouping. I have to have a rifle that groups better than this - maybe 1/2" grouping? I think this works pretty well for hunting varmints. For hunting something larger like Elk, the boiler room is quite a bit larger. So you have to decide what is the longest shot you're willing to take. Part of the answer will depend on the energy of the bullet at distance. The other part is the weapon system capability and the shooters capability. A 2" group at 100 yds may be sufficient for this. It's good to factor in some error on wind reading error and shot distance estimation. [/QUOTE]
