[QUOTE="LongBomber, post: 1486918, member: 14435"] I think the level of accuracy depends on what you need the rifle to do. If you are the mythical average hunter that goes to the range, shoots 3-5 shots and says "good enough" they are likely not shooting more than 100 yards at game anyways. For them it wouldn't matter if they had a custom capable of 1/2moa groups or a savage axis with grey box winchester ammo that prints 1.5moa. They are going to put a bullet in the front half of an animal at some unknown distance likely well under 150 yards and it will die. Might flop over, might run 100yards. If you are serious about shooting, then more accuracy is always better and can be a pursuit in of itself. I am at the range at least two days a week, so I get to see many people blazing away. I see some of the noted hunters in my area, very successful guys, that shoot groups from a rest on the bench about as good as I can off-hand shoot. (And I am not that good!) They seem happy with how they shoot and go out and have successful hunts. [/QUOTE]
