[QUOTE="Larry Morgan, post: 2816249, member: 4676"] A bolt gun is used when the utmost accuracy and reliability are needed. 1 MOA is pretty achievable with either without a lot of budget. 1/2 MOA is sometimes achievable from a factory bolt gun (can't speak to semi-autos), but nobody besides a custom builder will ever guarantee it. Sub 1/4 moa? That's getting into benchrest territory. For semi-auto I'd go 6.5 Grendel. There are even a few people that have used it in 1000yd F-class bolt guns. It's a fantastic round overall. For a bolt gun, take your pick.. If I had to build a bolt gun right this second I'd probably choose 7mm-08 or .260. [/QUOTE]
