^ "LR", I'm glad to see You making this point, because it is so true.^ I am a bolt rifle shooter, and I went with the Grendel because it is a 6.5 on a standardized case based off the PPC. As a bolt rifle shooter, I am not impressed with 1 MOA accuracy. In 1970, I bought a Rem 700 BDL 30/06, mounted a 2-7 Weaver scope, and with factory ammo, 125 gen to220grn, proceeded to shoot 5 shot groups that I could completely cover with a Quarter, prone from sand bags. A Quarter is 15/16" outside to outside. Figure the MOA on that. So since 1970, when people rant about MOA, I have wondered, "what's the big deal"? I don't compete, because I'm nowhere near good enough. My BIL recently won a match at Whitehorse, Wv. with a 5 shot group at 600 yds. 1.9xx". In an event like that, I would just be in the way.
I'm glad that people are interested in the shooting sports and spending money on it, because it keeps us all in the game. But I am often amazed at what some expect from the AR platform, and the amounts of money they are willing to put toward it.
Just Me, Just Saying ... ;-))
