The thread is about what shooters think is an acceptable average 3 shot group size, at long range, in good conditions, with normalish LR rigs.

I am saying that with a bit of longer range load development, 1/4 MOA should and will be possible for many of the blokes here. Especially with their flash 'Normalish' LR rigs i see posted and commented about.

My 7mm is not the only Sendero ive seen capable of 1/4 at long range, I have asked a lot of questions to a lot of people regarding this, especialy with a skim bed and decent load development they can shoot bloody well. You can spend thousands on a custom rifle and still not get the accuracy of a Sendero if you get a good one.

As you are personaly bringing my rifle into the equation, I am not quoting 1 off best groups here as you say, im quoting frequent groups shot in small strings over a period of visits to the range.

A Sendero is a rifle that many would class as basic long range rig, so why with a bit of effort could 1/4 MOA not be expected at long range with a more custom rifle?
