Picher says quality bolt-action benchrest rifles are capable of one-hole groups (1/8") with tuners and $18 a-box ammo and 30+ power scopes.

I agree. It might take tests with several lots of Eley ammo to find one that'll do that. But the groups are not all that size. A third or more groups are larger. So, yes they are capable of 1/8 inch. But not that size all the time.

I mention this so some folks won't get the impression that those 1/8 inch groups happen all the time.

Tests with the US Olympic Team's .22 rimfire rifles held in machine rests show the best of them with a matched lot of ammo will shoot under 1/4 inch at 50 meters. I don't think any rimfire benchrest rifle's any better.
