Cheap plastic rifles are remarkable. They can even be accurate as you have shown.
You decry the "plastic rifles." Have you ever tried one? I have tried many of the allegedly far superior blue steel and walnut guns and they are fine rifles but not nearly as practical for my purposes in the field.
For example, I have a full custom .300 H&H that was built around 1940. Its on a 1917 Enfield action that has all sorts of gunsmithing work done to it to slick it up. It has a 26 inch high polish blue barrel and a nice walnut stock. It will shoot around 1.5 inch groups at 100 yards. It also weighs 11 pounds field ready.
Conversely, this Tikka .243 weighs 7.25lbs field ready, shoots better at all distances, and the stainless steel barreled action and synthetic stock are near impervious to all weather conditions. The 22 inch barrel is also a lot handier in a thicket.
Its just a better mousetrap for the steep mountain ridges I hunt.
