light Hunting guns-that's funny stuff right there. I'm sure if T/C makes their rifles like their muzzle loaders they'll shoot more than accurate for 99% of hunters out there-most guys can't shoot to the capabilities of their guns and ammo to begin with.
So you are saying that gunmakers should preclude accuracy when building guns because the general public cannot shoot them anyway?
Try this sometimes...............................
Because a deer hunter (for example) is at the distinct disadvantage of shooting a cold bullet out of a cold barrel, put up a target and shoot one shot per day at a target using a good solid bench with rest and use the same aimpoint for each daily shot.
Be sure and leave your gun in the truck overnight for it to attain the ambient outdoor temperature, simulating a hunting adventure.
You'll be surprised at the size of the group. Very surprised.
A gun that will shoot a very tight group on repeated shots will always get a better group when shooting those once per day shots than one that shoots sloppy.
I did this once with a neighbors factory .243 and only hit a 6" target 2 mornings out of 5.......................
This was a 2 MOA gun too. :lol:
Those "Light" hunting guns can be very fickle.
