Quote:This Remington 700 VLS had to be heavily modified to get under 1 MOA. The AR-15 actually took less work and money to get to sub 1/2 MOA in this case.
That's actually pretty normal. There's no doubt bolt guns have better accuracy potential than ARs, but factory ARs are comparatively easy to get to their full (lesser) potential, while bolt guns usually require extensive (and expensive) gunsmithing to reach theirs.
There certainly ARE "spray and pray" ARs out there, but it's not accurate to characterize all of them that way, particularly the custom heavy barrel hunting and competition ARs that have become very common in recent years.
