yet so many sport owners that have them well scoped are shooting MOA + or -. Shooter should ahve added a few more brands to the test. Mine will do a under 1 1/2" with AR223 53gr and wolf gold match 75hr shoot 5 shoot groups of 7/8" useing a old burris 6-18 scope. More than a few guys at the S&W M&P rifle forum that handload are shooting 1/2" groups .

Spend the same money or less that you woruld on a colt on a RRA varment to get a rifle that will shoot sub moa with federal match ammo. Way sub moa, like 3/8" at 100 yards

Buy the rifle that floats your boat and be happy. Ain't enought difference between most to matter.
