Re: Hunting Rifle Accuracy Quizz

I talked to a man last year who was very upset that his expensive custom hunting rifle, with a custom barrel, would not do better than a 0.6 inch group at 100 yards. He said "for as much as I paid it should do better than that".

One could probably blame this sort of attitude on the Internet and/or the gun magazines. Tales abound of half inch groups. I even read one recently where a writer was testing an open sighted lever action rifle and getting sub moa groups. The implication was that this level of accuracy was common with this rifle. Really!!!!

I've read most of what Elmer Keith's wrote and I don't recall him ever mentioning group size, not once. I think this is because, as an experienced hunter, he knew it was not that important.

Now I like accurate rifles too but, if we are talking hunting, small groups from the bench are pretty meaningless.
