[QUOTE="Bigeclipse, post: 1018616, member: 52437"] Yes the 5inch circle is well within the deer's vitals but this is assuming I make a perfect shot. I have been shooting lots lately and I am gaining confidence BUT what if it is a buck of a life time and I get crazy buck fever and pull the shot just a tad OR I read the wind wrong just a bit. I want to know I missed because of me and not my rifle. Yes I know 1 MOA for a factory rifle is good and typically acceptable BUT I would feel much better with under 1 MOA...closer to .5 MOA as possible. The savage I just built for almost half the cost of my remington will shoot .5MOA on it's WORST day with my handloads but it is a heavy rifle and stinks to lug around when stalking. This was never a problem until this past weekend when I went for a stalk with my remington. I exited my stalk through the woods into the field I entered which is a 500 yard long field. I didnt expect to see anything in the field but was surprised when I saw a doe at 500 yards. If it were a buck, I would have wanted to shoot but probably wouldnt have knowing my rifle is at best a 1moa shooter right now with me being SUPER focused behind the trigger. [/QUOTE]
