[QUOTE="Nomosendero, post: 1901244, member: 3622"] I have 2 Lipsey Number 1 rifles, a 257 Wea. & a 264 WM. Both of these will consistently shoot under 1 MOA with some loads, the .257 even with the basic 100 gr. fact. softpoint will put 3 under 1/2". I use these as "point and shoot" rifles, in other words I don't mess with turrents with these. My longest Deer hunting shots in AR is 450 yds, just slight holdover does that, anything closer and it is a piece of cake. For the Powerline ROW's I sometimes hunt, the Bucks don't give to time to range and click anyway. I think the Number 1's in these calibers are great for this. They handle fast and are 4" shorter than a bolt gun with the same length barrel. Some of the older "Red Pad" Number 1's would shoot but most were tempermental. Many of the later "Black Pad" rifles do much better, a large part due to Ruger at that point making their own barrels. The low priced RAR barrels have proven that Ruger can make a barrel. For longer range shooting on targets, I have a 308 M700 5R and a Senero 300WM for Western hunting where I can range and click. For the longer than 500 yard shooting, the bolt action platform is a more stable & consistent platform. [/QUOTE]
