Yeah 60 minutes in a degree. Approximately 1” at 100 yds.
2” at 200 etc.
I hunt the NE. I use relatively short range lever guns. Dense woods gives very short shots generally. My Marlin 336 in .35 Remington will give me sub MOA groups at 100 yds. I adjust the sights for 2.5” high at 100 yards. I get groups around 2-3” low at 200. So you aim dead center chest at anywhere up to 200 yards it’s a dead deer.
My most accurate rifle is a reconstituted 03-A3 that had a cut receiver. A company in California bought these up cheap and made a recast receiver.
Bought this from a guy who just wanted to get rid of it. Had a horribly butchered stock as some sort of halfassed sporterization. Ugly. Had a sticky bolt too. Paid $50 for it two decades ago. Lapped the bolt in with valve lapping compound. Checked the headspace it was good.
This, for some reason, is a one ragged hole rifle with surplus Greek and Danish Ammo at 100 yds.
I have $4,000 rifles that don’t shoot much better than dad’s $19 CMP 03-A3.
The WW2 barrels look pretty grim outside (like they were somebody’s school shop project), but they were actually made better than the “classic” WW1-1920s barrels of the Springfield’s glory days. Broach rifling (as opposed to scraping the grooves out, one at a time, which was inconsistent) and air-gauging the bores made a world of difference.
