[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1495652, member: 10291"] I support the OP’s position. For most of my 50 years of hunting I have obsessed with the accuracy and consistency of my hunting and competition rifles....But, consider the stakes to be much higher with my hunting rifles where the clean dispatch of game is at stake. I think Bryan Litz does a nice job when he describes the WEZ(weapon employment zone). This concept is invaluable when assessing you and your rifles capability at a given max distance. I will try to achieve the highest level of basic accuracy/precision possible(<.5MOA) out of any of my rifles. It’s probably the easiest aspect to achieve, and the most predictable of the shooting variables. With the current technology and information that’s available, why settle for less. At the longer ranges, other factors come into play which are much less predicable, like wind, mirage, shooting position, etc. and the shot may have to be passed on regardless of the rifles precision. At the shorter ranges, like the OP, I’ll take the ability to “thread a needle” with the best accuracy possible. IMO. [/QUOTE]
