[QUOTE="Mike 338, post: 739547, member: 41338"] I agree... sort of. Yeah, most animals I've taken were in the first shot. I wouldn't however say that was a 99%er. Plenty of times I didn't get them until the 3rd or 4th shot. I know, you hear someone in the woods empty his gun and you say to yourself, "there's another one that got away" but you never really know. Also, the 4th or 5th shots might be the only standing shot I get. I think every hunting rifle should group the first three shots well and I more or less expect the next one or two to open up a little but not a lot. That particular rifle wanted to shoot well and the first shot always was where it was suppose to be but it almost never put 3 in a row close. The 2nd or the 3rd shot would fly 1-1/2" to 2" out. It probably would have shot lighter bullets better but I don't want to shoot lighter bullets. Bottom line is I just didn't have the confidence I needed. [/QUOTE]
