But not always. My 18" Grendel is 3/4 MOA, all day. In most situations (aside from bench shooting or prone from a bipod with a rear bag), I am the limiting factor, not my rifle.
But I agree that with all the insanity going on right now, 5.56 is more appealing. I shoot 6.5 more often simply because I bought several cases of Wolf before this ammo craze began. Once that stash gets burned down to 500 rounds or so, I'll switch over to 5.56 again.
Hopefully it ends by this time next year. But I don't think it will.
I've heard the Saiga's are a lot of fun, but never have had the pleasure of shooting one. Is it reliable with birdshot? That's all I can find for 12 gauge these days...
