very often the 'great' groups you sometimes see posted are from benches with the rifles almost vice'd in. sometimes in perfect 'indoor' conditions from a rock solid bipod and rear sandbags where you've had an hour to steady your breath and a cuppa between shots, with 25mag scopes with ultra fine reticles, and targer/varmint setups...yes, still great shooting, but the 'REAL' test IMHO is if you take a stalking rifle that you actually 'would' carry on the hill, out crawl with some excitement into position, rest the firearm on bipod, roe sack, hand, hat, whatever, no rear rest, and then put 3 shots in a 100 or 200 meter group. 'that' is the test when it comes to how well you can group a 'stalking' rifle,,,again, IMHO...of course to caveat that, if it can't group under still/perfect conditions, a 'real' life test will only make matters worse, but I was referring more to the drivers abilities/input.
