On average, our test rifle shot .94 inches with 5-shot groups at 100 yards from 11 different loads. Our shooting editor Richard Mann even shot a 31-shot group at 100 yards during Nosler’s suggested break-in procedure that measured 1.25 inches. And our best group fired with the Model 21 measured only .566 inches at 100 yards.
There have never been so many rifles on the market—in so many price ranges—that are precise enough for long-distance shooting. Triggers, optics, factory ammunition, and bullet design have all gotten better, too. And there is a trove of niche accessories geared toward the hunter or shooter that wants to make far-away hits.
