1 MOA from bench or off hands?

[Skillet]

Just my  , but any factory rig that is 1 MOA is a tack driver.  Start customizing and the expectation gets higher.

From a bench rest.   Figure if you can hit a half dollar at 100=tack driver

[Biggerhammer]

It's 1/2 MOA or less for me, more towards 1/4 MOA.

Isn't it a small rather odd looking hammer?

From my experience there are 2 types of "tack drivers". The first is the used one you are looking at to by at the gun show or local gun shop and you ask "well, how does it shoot?". Standard answer is " she's a tack driver". Second type is fellow shooter you are bs'ing with and you ask "how does that farfanugen magnum shoot?" and yes, you guessed it, he answers "she's a tack driver".  To me, a tack driver would have to be one that shoots less than MOA. They are few and far between off the shelf leading me to the conclusion that many shooters are full of it. I once watched a guy shoot over 40 rds. of 300 RUM "sighting" a rifle in. With his final shot he FINALLY hit the bullseye. I am sure if you asked him, he too would claim that "she's a tack driver"

1/2" out at 300 does it for me

[rbros]

Definitely under the 1/2 moa mark.  Should be from a bipod since few hunt or shoot from a bench.

Oh, I'm sorry. I misunderstood.......

I think what you are asking about is the mysterious "lights out" or "tack driving" rifle.

These creatures can be found at most ranges, usually shooting from lead sleds at 50 yards(or 25). Pounding away with very expensive factory ammunition. "Tack driving" confirmation is obtained when the shooter removes the target from the stand and carefully rolls it up and takes it home.

3 shots touching at 100 yards = dime group = 1/2 inch moa = tack driver.

My definition is "the ability to hit the head of a tack at 100 yards" which equates to a .5MOA rifle.  In factory rifles I've had 6 or 7 that shot less than .5 MOA, one of which would hit the previous bullet hole 90% of the time.  That rifle was a .25 MOA rifle.   I do have 3 benchrest rifles that would drive a tack.  Two are cast bullet rifles and the other is a 6 PPC.  It's amazing how small of a group the 6 PPC shoots and how the holes don't lie when there's a failure to read windflags.

Honestly any factory rig that does not shoot  1" MOA, I would not hunt with.
1" MOA should be the minimum standard that all hunting rifles.
It really is not to much to ask for.

If you can "cover" a five shot group with a dime...........

Considering most "tack heads" are 1/8 - 1/16 in. in diameter, 1/4" MOA would about do it, LOL

[stevemiller]

3 shots touching at 100 yards = dime group = 1/2 inch moa = tack driver.

I dont know about this,Some of my ammo is bigger than your dime and if it is about the size of a half dollar im having a good day. lol.
 Ok seriously first let me say a tack driver in my op would be any rifle shot from any position anywhere that is within 1 m.o.a at 100 yards,just my op.Even from a lead sled.(were testing the firearm not the shooter)If the shooter can do this repeatadly then he or she would be a tack driver lol.
