[QUOTE="Roughwater, post: 1616487, member: 33915"] I've heard that statement before too. I think a hunter/shooter should buy what he feels he can best afford, but if for Long Range it's worth investing a little more to get good reliability. I do think that is one thing the Leupolds offer. The only suprising thing to me about the statement is in regard to the Browning rifle. I think the Eclipse is one of the X-bolt models. I've have an X-bolt and it shoots better than any other gun I've owned out of the box. I've never owned a custom gun but have owned, Winchesters, Savages, Remington's and other factory rifles and it's been the best of them all for accuracy and a smooth auction. All of them however would shoot better than 1.5 MOA though it took some work with some of them to get there but nothing radical. Reloading also helps a lot in the accuracy department. If 1.5 MOA was the best any gun of mine could get it probably would have to go unless it was meant to be a short range gun in the first place, like a muzzle loader or one of the new straight wall rifles.
