many of us will debate that for hours - put a dry rag thru barrel- take to range - have an accurate shooter put 3 shots thru - that will show what the rifle is doing - in real terms - any more is just playing - now argue that logic as long as you like - but for me it is that first shot - why because I zero my rifles and all I want to know is has it held its zero - a 3 shot group has its place and is better than no shot group and just go on a reputation that it shoots
