The two Garands I have will regularly shoot sub 2" three (3) shot groups...I didn't believe this myself until using a single loading device, forget what it's called, I think SLED, so I could be light and careful on the trigger without the threat of the weapon doubling on me. This with Prvi Partisan 150 Ball and bench rest.
They are stock SA 43' and 45' DCM guns but I did a lot of parts replacing when I first got them for reliability purposes.
IMO, The mighty Garand is a target rifle masquerading as a Battle Rifle
