I'm new here and have just finished reading every thread on these magnificent rifles but curiously, I didn't notice anything about accuracy.

I was going through my range session journal for my MCA .30'06 and found that any load I have tried has produced an average of 1.5" to 1.75" groups. The average is obtained from 10 groups each. Oh, I have had that exceptional (bragging) group of around one half MOA but, it seems in the long run, my rifle is dependable for one and a half to one and three quarters MOA.

It seems that by today's standards, this is awful and I've even heard some say that if a rifle won't shoot 1" or less that it is unworthy to hunt with. I have never missed an animal on the first shot with my '06 and can't remember having to shoot anymore than once. For the last 43 years, my longest shot has been 125 yards because I hunt the thick places where a longer shot would be unseen. That is why I'm still kicking myself for not buying a MCA carbine in .358 Winchester 6 years ago, when I could afford it.:(
So I was just wondering, how accurate is you Mannlicher?
