Just came back from tha range-saw an 06 target rifle owned by an old gentlemen. He shot a no joking, dead straight group of .20 at 100yrds(subtract bullet diameter) I was thoroughly impressed, however I have always been turned off by the guys at the range who shoot their tricked out ar's and acheive 2" groups off a scoped rifle on a bench-dunno, what either caliber in a run of the mill gun cost me?
