It looks to me like he is saying it is consistently a 1" rifle. As he refers to 1/2 inch group radius. One inch also appears to be consistent with the groups photographed.
I like this quote also:
Whereas I can do about forty rounds with my little Ruger Mark II before I throw in the towel,
I generally feel a bit of fatigue after forty rounds of 160's from the STW in an afternoon. Or 100 rounds of 165's from an '06. But 40 rounds of 243????????
