i dunno, a rifle in a machine rest might shoot 1 MOA. if you're a deer hunter, and that's a gun you paid $250 for, that level of precision is likely to be described as fantastic. if you wanted to use it for a bullseye competition gun, that level of precision is likely to be described as teh suq. It's up to the shooter to make it accurate by zeroing it, and later by accounting for environmental variables (distance, wind, angle, temp, etc)
Let's think about accuracy like headspace. The proper headspace must be built in. It is purely mechanical. Same for accuracy, it must be built in. What degree of accuracy one needs is determined by the usage. After that, the shooter has to bring the accuracy potential out of the gun.
Precision/accuracy is built into the gun. Being able to precisely place shots is a combination of a very accurate rifle and a shooter that can wring it out of the gun.
Give an inexperienced shooter a rifle capable of 1/4 MOA or less and a great shooter a rifle capable of 1/2 MOA or worse, throw in some less than stellar conditions, and the experienced shooter will beat them every time.
I tend to look at this exactly the opposite as Bart, as I stated, but it doesn't make me right, or Bart wrong, as it is purely subjective IMO.Precision is having the firearm make all bullets cluster in the smallest group with a fixed point of aim.
Accuracy is having the firearm center all shot groups on the point of aim wherever it's at.
