If any of my long rifles with a scope shot consistantly 1 MOA I would sell it or run over it with a truck. My .338/.378 Weatherby with 250g Partitions shot 5/8" groups at 200 yards just yesterday out at the range. My Remmington 700 in .223 gives me 3/4" at 200 yards and my Winchester model 70 in .308 is the same.
I stopped practicing at 100 yards a long time ago as 3 shot groups all ended up 1/2" or better. Of course that did not happen overnight as I had to build the loads for these guns and fine tune it. A trigger job on the 700 made it real sweet and a massive break on the Winchester kept the rifle on the table. The Weatherby really surprised me. I only went thru 7 loads to tune it.
I am NOT a great shot, I just practice 40 weekends a year
However, next time I see a savage I will try it. I just never see them out at the range here and we have the largest in the USA at Ben Avery. Non of the dozen or so people I shoot with have a savage.
