I have traded off several rifles based on poor groups at 100 yards. Stupid! Long range is what matters, I now judge what the gun will do at long range. My 700 SS MT rifle is consistant 1.25"/100,1.5"/200and 1.75"/300 yards, there is a bit of windage at 100 as well...Another LR tip, if you are shooting a rimfire and cannot choose between brands or lots (by group size), try shooting at 200 yards... the more accurate load will be evident, (same applies to handgun loads, who cares about a half inch at 50 yards). Put up some long range targets, you will learn some things! Bill
