Re: Semi Auto 1/4 MOA group?

Generally bolt guns are ergonomically designed to shoot from the belly or bench, and most gas guns where designed as Infantry Combat weapons (at least at the initial design stage).
I shot a .25 group from a SR-25 EMC this morning with AB39 (Mk316 Mod0) - key a Group, I shot several .5 groups later, but I was the key factor. The same gun shot barely under 1" with M118LR (a decent lot of it, we have several lots of it that are 1.5 MOA ammo at best).
Position and Hold on a Gas gun are much more important, the best comments I have heard is you need to drive a gas gun, while you shoot a bolt gun... Many guns can do it, at the end of the day its the shooter.

You're speaking, of course, from your experience. My experience is the AR is easier to shoot well. It fits me better than a bolt gun with adjustable stock; and, I also think the importance for position consistency is independent of action type.
