As for long range shooting, my buddy has a Ruger #1 that posted groups on 2 successive years of under 5" at 1,000 yards. It is chambered for the .300 H&H. The first year it was used, he won the 1,000 yard bench rest competition with 4.5", fro hunting rifle class, and the next year, his wife shot the same rifle, same group size, winning that year's event.
