[/quote] One might suggest that if one "needs" better than MOA accuracy for deer/big game they're more interested in killing than hunting. For long range targets and competitive shooters no doubt they'd need all they can get.
One could very easily argue the very opposite. What deserves a more accurate setup? An animal or a piece of steel or paper? If a rifle struggles to do MOA it shouldn't be carried to the woods imho. Myself I feel I owe it to the animals to carry as accurate of a setup as possible. So that when the time comes for the shot I don't have to hope that my gear is up to the task. Leupold won't be found on any of my rifles for that very reason
