In a hunting rifle I don't see any reason to sweat 1/2MOA vs 1 MOA. Sure, it's nice to see those little bug hole groups but are you going to be shooting off a bench when you are hunting? Is the game going to notice the difference?
Consistency is going to bring home the venison. Get off the bench as soon as you can and practice field positions. That will make a lot more difference in your success than 1/2 MOA.
