Hi, I recently got back into shooting after about 15 years (haven't really been shooting since I left the Marines). I have a 26" Rem Varmint that I put in a B&C A5 Stock with a Millet 4-16 Mildot scope. My question is, how accurate should I expect this rifle to be? I can (almost) consistently shoot .5 MOA 5 shot groups at 100 yards with it off bipod with a bag in the rear on a bench. I'm not handloading, but have found that Hornady Vmax 55gr and American Eagle Varmint tipped 50 gr seem to work well in it. I assume that some of my 'flyers' are shooter error, but sometimes I know I did my part and the group just opens up. Is .5 a realistic expectation for this rifle with factory ammo? Would it tighten up if I DID hand load? Tomorrow I'm going to take it out and try 200 and 300 yards with it. I also have a 20" 1:9 but that's another thread Thanks for any input you guys have about what to expect.
