A few years ago I was checking my zero on my rifle I had not used since the last deer season. I was shooting at 200 yards when this guy drives up to the next bench. I had not put up my target yet and told him that now would be a good time as I was walking down and he did the same than set up. He pulls out this magnificent piece of art with a carbon barrel and a scope just as powerful as my spotting scope.
I shoot my first 3 shot group check, let rifle cool down 10 minutes and shoot again 3 shots to confirm. Both times both groups were inside the 1" squares so I know it is still hold sub moa groups. He shoots like twelve shots and than gets dialed in. He gets his group he wants and invites me to look through his scope which confirms my initial thought, it was a powerful scope. His 3 shot group were almost touching and closer than mine. I asked him if he did not mind divulging his information what the rifle and scope cost and he proudly stated $9000. I looked at my get up a Tikka T3 lite in 30-06 and my Sigthron scope $900 at most for both.
For me I could not see spending $8100 more to shrink my group down by .002 more. I figured I could achieve that when I reloaded for the rifle instead of using the Remington Core-lokt factory ammo.
