I brought out my Mossberg 800B .243 yesterday (It was my great uncle's gun, I got it sometime in the mid 90s, haven't shot it in about twenty years).
Ran a bunch of different loads through it, between me and the gun I was averaging about 1.75 MOA. One group out of about ten looked beautiful, all five rounds touching. I had shot a few other groups with that exact same load without that result. Was it me? Most likely. Was it the rifle? Not nearly as much as me. It would have been super easy to just post that one picture and say that is what my rifle and I can do, "all day long" when in fact that was realistically just the highlight group of about ten different groups.
