[QUOTE="Allen Kitts, post: 2522953, member: 103317"] I have been through the full gauntlet of chasing the tiny bug hole groups. I drove myself crazy and cost myself a ton of money in components. I finally settled on if it was 3/4moa or better at to stick with it. I was fortunate that I had a 1000 yard range set up a few minutes from my house at the time and steel from 300 to 1000. Before every hunting trip I would go shoot at the 12 x 12 steel plates, one shot at each plate to verify my rifle was still on. As long as I was in the center 6" circle and not out on the extreme outer edge of the steel I considered it good. This has worked well for me for years in my hunting situations. I have since lost my 1000 yard range but I have access to 600 and I still do the same verification before every hunt, just out to 600 yards now. In the days when components were plentiful and didn't cost an arm and a leg it didn't matter as much. It was fun and I love to shoot so I didn't mind chasing the bug holes. In today's world you could cost yourself a small fortune trying to get that extra 1/4", if you get lucky enough to find the components to do it with. Just my opinion and what has worked for me.
