Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Obsession with accuracy.

I've killed a bunch of deer with a cheap Mossberg ATR100 in .270 with a 4.75 Weaver Grand Slam on top. It shoots factory Fusion ammo into 1.5" 5-shot groups at 100 yards all day, and 1-1.25" with my handloads.

Then again, I've killed a bunch with a single-shot 44 mag handi-rifle with a Weaver 1-3x that holds about 2" at 100 on a good day.

In the woods I hunt, 50 yards is a medium-long shot, and I don't like dragging my "nice" rifles up into trees behind me all that much.

I might re-think it when I have to shoot a deer twice.
