Am I alone in feeling that sub 2moa would be just fine for big game hunting? I mean my 300weatherby vanguard is only slightly better than that, and it has been a hell of a productive hunting tool.
I get around 1 moa from my Ruger M77 in 220 Swift and it hits beldings ground squirrels out past 300 yards all the time, and I am able to take them offhand out to 100 often enough that I try it in front of witnesses.
My Ruger 7X57 (the first one) shoots under a half inch using a handload I dont like because of the bullets failure to provide the terminal performance I want. It shoots Bellier and Selliot ammo into over an inch, but the game is taken much more decisively.
So what does Nth degree accurracy really bring to the table? I think it is a placebo.
I would buy the Ruger if the factory only promised 2.5 inch MOA. After all it is a moose, elk, bear kind of gun, you know big close targets, not a varmit rig.
