Savage 12BVSS in 22-250 will shoot 1/2" at 200yds.

Savage 16FSS in 7mm-08 will shoot right at 1" at this point but I'm still doing load work.

Takes a very good rest and shooting technique as well as some carefully worked up case necked handloads usually. No wind and loads should be checked for concentricity and under 2 thousandths run-out perferably at .001. Still not an easy task and not many guns will consistantly do it. My 16FSS has an air guaged barrel/target trigger/blueprinted action/bedded/in a very good stock with alum. pillar bedding skelton. Use a caldwell rest with a back sandbag on a bench rest table. The 12BVSS is a varmint gun with 1 1/2# trigger and bedded/floated 26" bull barrel.

There is no need to demand that level of accuracy unless you are really into things and a bit of an accuracy nut. Any gun that would shoot 2-3" at 200yds is a good shooter and capable of shooting better than most of us can hold without a rest while hunting anyway. Plus deer have a large kill zone about the size of a basketball so extreme accuracy is not necessary or easy to achieve under field conditions.

my tikka can shoot under and inch at 200yrds and most are under 2 inches depending on the load.

my 6.5 arch is about 1.5 to 1.75 from a soprter.  i havent worked up many loads for it but that is good enough for me.

i havent shot my 257 bob imp at 200 yet.

my 7mm shot a group at 300m that was 1.5 inches with a 168 matchking.

My tika-3 243 ss lite will shoot around or a touch under at 200 yds.

   My model 7 rem. will shoot 2 - 3 in. at 200 yds.

   My mini 14 will be lucky to hit target (12x12) at 200 yds.

  Both 30/06's  one tika-3 and one vangaurd shoot a little over 1 in. at 200

Since your tightest group category is less than one foot I'd say dang nearly all the guns I've ever owned count beat that, well except for that Ruger #1B I had for a short while. BTW ' is foot  " is inch

This really isn't the kinda question the POLL option is designed for. Would be better just to ask your question and let folks respond.

My Remington model 1917 Alvin Yorks 30-06 at 200yds it groups 1/2 to 1"
My 8mm mauser will group 11/2 to 2". My Salvage 110 in 7mm will group
1 to 2",My Remington 742 will group 11/2 to 21/2 depends on grain of bullet and workout.

I shoot one shot groups. That is one shot from a clean, cold barrel, daily from field positions. I can keep 'em on an 8" pie plate out to 250 yards, except for offhand, without a prop.  :oops:
