[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 795683, member: 1521"] As a groundhog hunter, I hate missing first/only shots. And being distant to the best barrel fitters, I really hate taking guns out of service, to get excellent barrels replaced, causing me to start all over with them, -because I ****ed em away on group shooting at a range. Test your best grouping gun for accuracy, and also consider your most accurate gun for grouping, and you should recognize that there is a difference. I'll throw out an example: Tubb2000, 6XC, groups(of any number) 3/8moa to 300yds easy. Yet, the most inaccurate gun I've owned.. The first shot with any 10mins of cooling was a flyer, various directions, always. Then any followup shooting would produce a nice ragged hole. I guess that's what makes all the competitors so happy with these guns(~20sht grouping or whatever). Let's just say I wasn't impressed with this performance & sold it off. I have cheaper guns that are very accurate. Only ~1/2moa grouping, but more accurate, which means more useful in the field. Anyone would be a fool to burn one out with a bunch of useless group shooting. I don't group shoot on game. I shoot within my capability. [/QUOTE]
