[QUOTE="Darryl Cassel, post: 40856, member: 34"] As an addition to my last post Many times over the last 16 years shooting at Williamport, I have seen targets measured that had the 1st 5 shots (the pit crew plots the shots as they come in) were in 1 1/2" and I have seen, as Boyd has, the 1st 3 shots in one inch and this happens quite a lot during most any match and in most relays to. So with accuracy like that, you can get an idea of what a good Benchrest 1000 yard rifle will do. Like Bounty Hunter said, it's like trying to match up apples and footballs when you put a non-benchrest rifle against most "any" of the 1000 yard bench guns used today. Don't know how you would break down the accuracy range of all rifles and their classes but, the benchrest guns will do some serious shooting. Even the heavy guns will show up the 16 1/2 lb benchrest guns in the matches. I've never seen a factory rifle or, a tactical rifle do well in a 1000 yard benchrest match for the "entire" season. They just were not built for the benchrest style of shooting and also 10 shots to boot. Most are built for a hunting situations and that's what they do well. To put an accuracy range in MOA on one style of rifle compared to another, I think would be extremely hard to do. It depends alot on the shooter and his handloading ability but, the benchrest rifle has the edge to start with tolorances that are extremely tight and built for benchrest competitions.
