All you guys saying you only accept 1.5 or 1.0 MOA or better have clearly never had to hunt deer in a slug only state...
Or ever made a standing shot. Fired at a moving target. Shot squirrels or rabbits with pellet guns or .22’s, used Grandpaws rifle, hunted muzzle loader or bow seasons...
That one inch can grow a great deal under hunting conditions , I want my gun to shoot small so when human error comes into play accuracy is still good enough for the task .
Sometimes the trade off one makes for ultimate accuracy could exacerbate human error under hunting conditions. I have benchrest rifles that shoot small single hole groups, wouldn’t ever think about taking them hunting. Many situations one can come across hunting where an old iron sighted “pie plate” 30-30 would be far superior.
