Why a scout rifle(carbine)?

I never claimed to have the most accurate gas gun on the planet.
You have a very severe flaw in the argument you are trying to use. That problem is the bolt gun category. The groups in the bolt gun category SUCK. We have great lists of recorded groups that show us what the best bolt guns shoot. Your list is NOWHERE close to the results we see in matches. Your semi auto groups are also as unimpressive as the bolt gun list. A man I shoot with holds the worlds record in 200 yard bench rest. I do not see his numbers on your list. I guess he can't shoot. I guess his rifle is not accurate. Afterall, He is not on Bubbas beer can shooting list.

You didn't read the rules. These aren't "benchrest" numbers. Rests are forbidden. You have to actually control the gun yourself.

Suffice to say, I don't believe you and neither will anyone else who knows anything about shooting until you prove it. The whole point of these competitions is that the claims about gas gun accuracy long ago ran away from the ACTUAL accuracy.

Some of these arguments were voiced when the Garand rifle was being introduced in the army.

Looks to me as though we've beat on this horse long enough.
