Did I hit what I was aming at, thats the only goal I ever had.
I rarely if ever shoot from a bench anymore so much of my shooting is done on the move or standing/kneeling/prone/etc. I focus on keeping my shots in the "A" Zone and head of the targets I use since those are the only shots that count at the local matches.

This is the best I can do with my Noveske with 1.5x5 Leupold Mk4. Zeroed at 50yds. 2 MOA shooting off a bipod, prone.

Although these pics don't reflect it, I've got it dialed in from 200yds to 400yds and center mass is no problem at these ranges. That's all I care about.

JC pretty much sums it up in his first paragraph. With high quality ammo, I'm expecting 1-2MOA on the bench. Real world, with a red dot sight and surplus ammo, 4MOA is acceptable, although I know my rifle is capable of much more than that, even with the Russian crap.
I know that during my time in the Marine Corps, I was quite happy if I could consistently hit the 12" bullseye at 300 yards.
12"/3(00yards)=4moa
Of course, the rifle and ammo had much better mechanical accuracy than my human performance. I never had a M16 that was less accurate than I am. :D
Pistols: Head shots at 25 yards.
Rifles: Head shots at 100 yards, chest shots 200 yards.
Off hand, RDS, steel case... I'm stoked with 4moa.
the way I define it is that the RIFLE should be capable of 2 moa from a bench or rest with match ammo equipped to roll.
With me in the equation it should be capable of 4 MOA from field positions. thus sometimes a more accurate gun doesnt hurt...:rolleyes:
