The ultimate quest for a a single hole is what keeps me going. Sometimes I wonder whether I shoot just to reload.

For my hunting rifle (I only own one as up until this year, we could only use shotguns on deer and everything else I hunt is with a shotgun, except for coyote), I am happy with 1/2 - 3/4 MOA. Once I found a load that would consistently do that, I stopped chasing anything smaller. Most of the time I shoot it at the range, it is between .4 and .7 MOA, and that is "good enough" for me.

For all my other bolt action rifles that I target shoot with, the phrase "good enough" has never crossed my mind.
