For the practically-minded among us, when did we stop being hunters, and start becoming princesses looking for that pea in an otherwise perfectly good bed?
While I agree with the sentiment to some extent, one could make the exact same argument for using a 2 MOA rifle. Most would get by just fine with that sort of accuracy and there'd be very few shots most would would take anyway where better accuracy would actually be needed.
Some set their standards a bit higher. Even if there's only a small chance they'll be faced with a situation where they'd actually need that extra accuracy to make a shot on big game, they want it just in cases. They want it because it makes the routine shots even more precise.
So why is it politically correct for everybody to "need" a rifle that shoots one hole groups, but if one doesn't accept mediocre scopes as the best they can use, they're a "princess?" The difference in scopes is more likely to make a difference in the field in my experience.
