Can you shoot MOA consistently?
What do you think a 3 shot group opens up to?
Do you think your going to be able to shoot MOA in field conditions doing cull work? Can you shoot a 1" 5 shot group at 100 yards shooting off a set of sticks while standing, sitting or kneeling on the ground? (I could probably answer this for you)
Just because a rifle manufacturer says it will do a 5 shot MOA group DOES NOT mean its going to shoot an inch at 100 yards in your hands. At the end of the day, you can buy the best tools available but if you don't have the skills to use them to their potential, the MOA guarantees don't mean anything.

I got new for you, it won't take a benchrest quality rifle to kill these critters at even extended ranges. Just about anything with decent out of the box accuracy will be more than adequate for such targets.
