What level of accuracy do insist on for a deer rifle?

[hseII]

18 people (so far) have said 1moa. I'd be VERY curious if they've actually gotten rid of say a 1.5 moa rifle. While 1moa rifles aren't hen's teeth when it comes to common hunting rifles, they aren't falling off store shelves either.

I sold a Browning that another fellow could shoot 1" 300 yrd 3 shot groups with.

Best I could do with it was 3/4" 100 yrd 3 shot groups.

The Only reason I sold it was because I'm trying to consolidate calibers, and as long as that .270 was in the house, I wasn't going to be using one of the consolidated calibers.

Over a third of the people voting still say only 1MOA is acceptable. I smell a budding hunting rifle challenge match ....

Do I have to still own it?

How could you? Browning .270 = excellence.

My old BAR .270 shoots 1" groups at 100 yards. I had a BAR in .30/06 that would touch bullet holes, but that was shooting around 70 yards. Still an excellent group. I got rid of that .30/06 but I regret it.

Yes since the poll was to indicate which rifles you KEEP.

LMAO! Just think of all the dirty bores sitting in my cabinet right now. Deal with it!

I made it clear I'm a Pie Plater but I seldom miss an opportunity to try and drop a 405gr on a target

Yeah this would not be a competition for honest people.

I kept the 700 BDL 30-06 for my son to have..I picked it up 40+ yrs ago at JC Penny's for 139.00. It sits in the safe, every time I pull it out and shoot it, I am reminded why I put it in the safe!!

I see several 3-shot 1 MOA groups on this one. Dang flyers...

If I owned rifle that shot like this, I wouldno longer own it.

Hey, I just realized this emoticon.

Just a random observation in no way connected to this thread...at all...
