Very informative Thanks slamfire.
I have read of people getting MOA accuracy or better from Garands, is this common or are they blowin smoke
The Navy reported in the 70's that their 308 Win conversions could hold three inches at 300 yards.

However when you are talking rack grade Garands, I don't believe it. I have shot in enough Garand matches to know an outstanding rack Grade will shoot within seven inches at 200 yards. The average rack grade won't hold the nine ring.

I believe there may be exceptional Garands. But I also believe shooters are firing off a bunch of five shot groups, tossing the big ones, and claiming the small ones as typical, when they are statistical flukes.
