this x2! A true .5 MOA gun is truly hard to achieve, especially without reloads, and especially with factory rifles. For a factory rifle, anything sub MOA is great in my book. That being said, if the OP simply desires a .5 MOA gun then by all means make it into a semi-custom rifle. I have 2 savage semi-customs. One has a barrel from Apache gun works which cost me 230$ and the other has a criterion barrel which set me back 350$. Both shoot sub MOA with many different factory loads all day long and with my reloads they both achieve .5 MOA or better, when I do my part.

If you have been following my other threads I also have another savage which shoots something awful! 3-5inch groups. Makes me sick. I am now committed to making this one a semi-custom as well as I would NEVER sell that piece of crap lemon to another fellow shooter/hunter.
