[QUOTE="LDHunter, post: 2773600, member: 105"] Sub moa is "good" at any yardage... Sub .5moa is better... Sub .25moa is the Holy Grail... For a true hunting rifle that I will actually use to shoot medium to large game I'm happy with sub moa but in all other rifles I just can't rest until I get at least close to sub .5moa and sub .25moa usually gets me to stop experimenting. It's all a matter of perspective. Truly achieving sub .25moa can either drive you crazy or sharpen your focus to laserlike precision. The trick is to NOT let yourself get neurotic if you can't achieve it. There are soooooo many moving parts that have to ALL precisely align that it is a goal that few ever truly achieve and even then to achieve it with more than one rifle is almost unheard of. I've been handloading my own ammo for over 50 years and I can count on one hand the rifles I've ever achieved sub .25moa with and those successes keep me constantly trying to improve. Note that I've never had a custom rifle built and every one of my bolt action rifles used for target shooting in the last 20 years have been either Model 700s or Model Sevens. That makes it even harder and the achievement of great accuracy a worthy goal. They all have been professionally bedded and have McMillan, Brown Precision or have aluminum bedding block stocks that have been skim bedded. Only accurate guns are interesting...
