I understand what people are saying about 5 and 10 shot groups in order to call it a true 1/2in. rifle, and like i said earlier most of mine won't. However as hunting rifles go i've got an old 700 BDL 30/06 (1975) that will put the first shot of the day, for 10 days in a row into a 3/4in. group with it's favorite handloads. Does this make it a 3/4in rifle, no, but it does make me feel all warm and fuzzy as the crosshairs settle down on brown hair just before the bang, LOL. I guess it's up to us to decide what makes us happy in a rifle. 1/2 groups are sure fun, no dought, but i don't go broke chasing them anymore. YMMV.
