The responses here saying that people can't shoot that well or my rifle can't shoot that well are exactly what I'm trying to get across .
Pretty much every rifle out there that is suitable for a precision rifle will shoot MOA or better with good ammo so saying that the rifle wont cut it is just not the case any more .
At every class I've helped teach there has been someone with an economy set up with low end glass that struggles . When either swapping the scope for something else or putting them on a loaner rifle it goes from struggles and frustration to making hits . So was this a shooter issue or were they being limited by their gear ?
The sighting system is the most important part of the equation and if it doesn't do its job everything else that is done will not give the desired results .
Like I said previously driving a precision rifle is all about consistency and repeatability , its not rocket science or voodoo . Execute the fundamentals properly and you will hit .
One last question how many of the economy glass owners have box tested their scopes to the full extent of the travel and what kind of results did you get ?
