Isn’t the whole point of the factory test to ensure that it’s shooting at moa?
I remember an old howa I had where the test target was included in the box, that was pretty reassuring.

Who knows, the tester must have held his tongue just right. It did shoot several groups under and inch but it also shot several over so the consistency just wasn’t as it should be.
The issue with including test targets is everyone then wants to cherry pick the ones that shot the tightest test group, when a single test group doesn’t mean all that much. You will end up with customers calling around all shops requesting pictures of test targets etc which will just create problems for everyone.
