Quality of components is critical and that aspect is a moot point in podcadt and article. Get those right and thrn ladder and OCW and similar tests are valid and cheaper and do allow - achieve sub 1/2 moa groups at very
long range. Just look at the scores of NZ and international medium and long
range target shooters. Virtually nil random fliers by those winning people.

Yup, stuff you buy from the shop is going to be 100% perfect and it's just how you put it together with a magic touch that makes it super accurate

There is definitely a correlation between rifle weight and precision.

There is definitely a correlation between a robust sighting system and accuracy.

The bloke doing 'load development' every range trip is unlikely to get much better results due to constant changes.
