[QUOTE="TikkaShooters, post: 580226, member: 25066"] In order to truly know if your gun is accurate for long range it is imperative that you test it at long range. Many factory rifles can print a decent groups at 100 yards. For our accuracy purposes 100 yards is irrelevant. Most long range match bullets don't go to sleep until 200-300 yards. Most imperfections in the firearm don't show up until youre past 200 yards. Most factory guns can print a random good group causing the shooter to think he has a quarter moa gun. In reality the gun is not consistent enough to shoot that group time after time. When looking at accuracy it is important to add consistency to the equation. Most factory guns have larger aggregate grouping than customs when you average all the groups out. Shooters quote their guns accuracy the way bullet makers quote bc. It's all based on perfect conditions. As the range increases, every flaw in the gun, ammo, and shooter is magnified. [/QUOTE]
