At the Range, I see lots of (mostly 100M three shot groups) and in that category, estimate that the majority of shooters using "factory" guns and ammo (maybe 60%), are grouping consistently under 2". The more "practiced" shooters are of course cutting that almost in half. I have no data to support my guesstimate, but would hazard a guess that no more than 10% of shooters consistently group under 1" ... and fewer than 5% consistently group under 1/2" @ 100M.

since your dealing with factory over the counter guns, if they can do what is advertised or projected, id consider it a win.
a soft ball sized group is also acceptable if you hunt moose in tight bush but maybe not open country mulie.
