1.) is it safe to say in order to come close or getting .5moa all day long you need a bull barrel? the longer the bull barrel the better obviously or not? what do you think? or is this not important to getting the "esteemed .5moa title crown" that everyone talks about so much? This is NOT about what you like, but about getting a true .5moa all day long rifle if there is such a thing.... </div></div>
This all depends on what your asking the rifle to do. Any profile barrel can be a .5MOA rifle but how long do you have for each shot and how many shots? As you can see from the 3, 5 shot group I posted how the groups started to open up as the more I shot. So yeah 1 bullet a hour sure most any barrel can do it. Lenght of the barrel has no effect on accuracy only speed. As far a true .5MOA rifle all day long every single time you pull the trigger? No I don't think there is or ever will be.

2.) if so, then is having a bull barrel more important than rifle brand IF all you were after was totally accuracy (yes yes we know, grab your rifle run thru the woods, run and gun, it is not the question)??? <span style="text-decoration: underline">IF you were to go for JUST max accuracy, would you pick a lower priced rifle with a bull barrel, or a better "brand name" with just a heavy barrel / light barrel if you could only pick one of the two questions listed? </span></div></div>
The truth is every manufacter has some good and some bad! And no one knows what a barrel will do until its shot. When you buy higher price your paying for the attention to detail not some persons hourly wage. As far as bull barrel then yes if accuracy is what your after your better with a heavy barrel. The thing to pick is whichever one YOU will be happy with.

3.) what do you think is the most accurate cartridge so far with your past experience and the outcome of this thread so far? </div></div>
This is a question one that can not be answered in my eyes.

4.) what do you think is more important in terms of ".5moa all day long" type accuracy if you could only pick one after participating / reading this thread?? ..... the shooter or the rifle? </div></div>
Kinda of trick question! But I do think it is more shooter then rifle. There is a saying "Don't fear the man with the most rifles, Fear the man with one!" Because he knows how to shoot it! I have seen guys with $300 setups out shoot $3000+ dollar setups. You can't just drop a bunch of coin and expect to be a good marksmen. Shooting is where good trigger time counts more then anything.

5.) what are your general thoughts so far with the outcome of this thread to date? </div></div>
I love it!!
Not as many people are willing to step up to the plate when they have been called out! All the ones that have posted targets so far have earned so much more respect then ones that have just talked.
The biggest thing to remember is to have fun and learn with all of it. It don't matter who has the best groups or the worst groups! All that matters is you have fun with it. Enjoy your time at the range and enjoy your rifle no matter what kind of groups you get. Once you take the fun out of it it's not worth doing!
Not trying to start anything but has anyone heard from the JP boys?
