[QUOTE="Deviant, post: 1486513, member: 106404"] I don't post on this site very often but I do however read a lot of posts. The one phrase that I just can't seem to get past is (that's good enough for a hunting rifle). I have to wonder where exactly does this thought process come from? I don't know about you guys but when I shoot an animal I want to hit my mark every time. It doesn't really matter whether it's the buck of a lifetime or just a doe for meat. I have great respect for all of the furry Critters in the woods and want them to die quickly and as painlessly as possible. A paper Target will never get up and run away wounded. Every rifle I own is a .5 MOA rifle or better or it goes down the road. I target shoot with the same exact rifles that I hunt with and I hunt with the same exact loads that I target shoot with. Who wants to take a 600 yard shot at the animal of a lifetime with a 1.5 MOA rifle? I know I sure wouldn't and maybe in a lot of areas you don't get the chance to take a shot that far away but if I ever do I **** sure want to rifle that can connect. I guess my point is that I spend just as much if not more time developing loads for my hunting rifles as I do for a gun that may only get shot at the range for the most part. I see absolutely no reason why every single rifle of decent quality should not be able to shoot .5 MOA if you put the time and effort into it. Al [/QUOTE]
