[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1086277, member: 2736"] I did not mean to offend, and just to clear up some of my comments,The equation that prevents a repeat of such a group is almost always the shooter. No shooter should go to the field with a rifle that shoots 6" high at the distance he intends to hunt,unless he has the skills to compensate and get a center mas POI. The best rifle in the world will rarely repeat its best group, not because it cant, but because the shooter element is not that consistent. In My Opinion the only way to predict accuracy is with a very good knowledge of what your weapon Is capable of and lots of practice so you wont let the rifle or the game down. Lack of practice is the most common reason for failure. I also don't believe in taking low percentage shots. I for one don't attempt a shot that I am not sure I can make. Based on my equipment and skill level. Some of the shots I pass on could be done by better shooters and would not be low percentage shots to them. So It becomes a personal call. I have lots of rifles that will OUT shoot me and that's the way I like it because I cant blame the rifle for a failure that I could have prevented buy more practice or higher standards. But also occasionally everyone has a day that they cant do anything right so predicting a accuracy every time you go hunting or to the range would be nearly impossible. I consider this sport (Long Range Hunting) Similar to bow hunting. It takes good equipment and good skills through practice. There is no free ride. Just my opinion J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
