I take at least FIVE groups of 5-shots and average the results. Then I declare what the rifle really is.

Best Factory Savage barreled rifle I shot is a 10-fcpK 308win that averaged 0.6moa with handloads and 0.7moa with FedGMM 168smk. Shot the odd 1/4moa groups with it, but no way in hell was it a real 1/4 moa rifle.
I take a bit different tack on it, though I do not excuse things.

Mostly it seems to me that if I do my end, I can shoot 5/8 MOA groups or better, I have not had one of those 5 holes in one groups. 1/4 is the best.


If I can shoot 5/8 MOA, I suspect the rifle is good for 1/4 MOA. That's just a guess.

I have done that a few times, not consistently. Some days its been a number of those 5/8 and below, other days its closer to 1 inch.

I think the upper end is me not the gun.

I had one odd flyer show up, got annoyed and put 4 more into the group. 9 shots were 5/8, the flyer took it out to 3/4 or so. I think that odd one was me.

Short of putting it into a fixture its a hard one to say.

It would be interesting to find someone who has done that.
