For me, I tend to draw the line at 1.5" at 100 yards with hunting bullets. I don't have much use for a hunting rifle that shoots target or frangible bullets well and hunting bullets into 1.5" or more. My bullets of choice are Nosler Partition or Horn Interlock but greatly prefer the Nosler. I've sold several rifles that wouldn't keep them inside 1.5".

I also agree with the field shoot-ability of rifles. I've also sold rifles that were accurate from the bench but didn't fit me well in field positions. I've had rifles I can shoot quite well from offhand and others not so much. Surprisingly, my Kimber MTs I can shoot well from field positions, especially given how light they are.
