I am also of the "disbelieving" persuasion. I see that some posters believe it 'cause the "targets" are there for all the world to see. Well............. I have many targets with 5-shot groups at 100 yards that are 0.25, 0.30 & 0.19 but they are the rarity and I don't post (brag about) the rarities. Those pics are 3-shot groups which is what people shoot who know that their rifle isn't capable of nor consistant enough for a great 5-shot group. Three-shot groups mean absolutely nothing to me and shouldn't to any real accuracy shooter. they are nothing more than a possible indicater of an accurate rifle but are more than likely just compensating errors.
Sorry............... I think way too many internet marksmen are marksmen ONLY on the anonomous internet. "Yeah, my RemWinSavFAL shoots 0.00002" at 500 yards all day long... as long as I do my part." Well, I think that they've just NEVER done their part.

Trigger work - yes. Free-floating - Yes. Good glass - not necessary at all (at 100-200 yards). I shoot 300 meter F-Class with several scopes that cost between $75 & $900. My scores are 585 - 598 with absolutely no correlation to which scope is being used.
Anything over 300 meters and I'd start using whichever glass that crisps & defines my bullseyes the best.
Not impossible, just impossible to be credible on the Internet.
Statistically, it's much more likely that the poster is exaggerating than Mossy putting out a .25moa rifle.

tight groups with just a little trigger work, free floating and good glass.
