[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1495951, member: 30902"] We should all be responsible and do what we can to be as accurate and precise as possible but we also have reality to deal with. There are very few sub MOA rifles out there and for those who can only afford factory rifles and ammo that number is infinitesimally small. The difference between MOA and sub .5MOA is enormous and simply not achievable by more than a very small percentage of shooters and hunters with any equipment. When you go to full customs, custom ammo, the best optics, etc that many of us are fortunate enough to be able to afford then that sub .5 becomes a lot more possible but in reality you're still talking about a ridiculously small number of rifles/ammo combos that can be found. Dead is dead, aim small miss small, put it in the vitals and they die. Whether you're six inches or a foot left or right of your aim point, six inches up or down from it, for deer sized game and larger you're still making a killing shot. For the rest, that's why God made prarie dogs, coyotes, and all the other little varmints and predators we enjoy shooting way the heck out there just because we can. While we're striving for the best and to represent it well here we need to keep it realistic otherwise all were doing in the end is filling people's heads with expectations they'll never be able to achieve and in the end discouraging them from the sport altogether.
