[QUOTE="Timber338, post: 2186908, member: 33822"] This is spot on... Considering the cost of a custom rifle, I expect consistent .2-.4 moa accuracy. It better be a sub 1/2 moa rifle. My expectations are to have enough accuracy to kill animals out to 1000 yards with confidence. At the range I expect to shoot 5-7 inch groups at 1000 yards to accurately dial in the rifle/load/trajectory. With a semi-custom (aftermarket barrel installed onto a factory action bedded into a decent stock) I would expect consistent .5-.75 moa. Of all my accurate rifles, my big 338 is the least finicky to develop a load and also has amazingly low extreme spread and velocity is consistent across groups as well. In steady wind conditions, my 338 will shoot amazing groups at long range, picture below shows a group I shot at 1005 yards with a steady diagonal ~7mph wind. I missed the wind call on the particular group, but it still shows the capability of a good 338 RUM. And this is a hunting weight rifle, 9.5 lbs including optics. [/QUOTE]
