[QUOTE="HARPERC, post: 981103, member: 30671"] Elk are hunted in a lot of different habitat. Some close range some at farther out. A general purpose rifle system in my mind should be able to reliably maintain groups of 3-4 inches at 200 yards. With the 4 inch groups being the exception, and 3 inches most of the time. As this site is primarily LRH you will see much better accuracy being expected. The rifles advertised at the top of the page guarantee half inch at 100 yards, you will see a fair amount of smiths from the site making similar guarantees. So for what we talk about here something more in the 1 inch at 200 yards is what we are looking for. I'd still like to hear what you've got. Sometimes putting it out there for discussion helps you organize your thoughts if nothing else. The 3-4" at 200 yards isn't an unreasonable standard, something is off somewhere, and getting there may not require a lot of changes. [/QUOTE]
