I have a couple Accurate Ordnance rifles and both have a 3/8 MOA guarantee. Does that mean I can shoot to that potential? No siree it does not. With that said, I have been able to garner some good groups with both rifles. Not on a consistent basis though. So, can I say either is a 1/2 MOA rifle all day long? Not with me behind it.
Occasionally I will be able to shoot .5 MOA or less, but not consistently. Most times it will be between .75 to 1 MOA. There is room for improvement and that is part of the fun, at least for me. Both rifles are 6.5 Creedmoor. One is in a Manners stock and the other is a McMillan (one will go on the market later this year).
Sometimes the shooting gods smile down on me and I get an incredible group. For example, last year I was shooting on the 1200 yard range at K&M. It was an overcast day with very little wind. 3 shots (yes it is a 3 shot group) measured 3.22" inches at 1200 yards, which translates to .26 MOA. Once I realized what happened I packed up my rifle and quit for the day.
