Swiss Arms Accuracy?

What is the accuracy on one of these, at 100, 200, 300? Thinking i would like to get one for gophers and Paper.

I found mine able to do under 2" at 200 meters with decent ammo. Was able to make a few headshots on gophers out to 200 meters and never missed a body shot passed that. On paper it will do about .8" at 100 meters... these are tack drivers.
 
what you have to understand is that thoses gun are made for one thing. 300M open sight competition, so they do really really well
 
With a 4X scope i can manage about 1.5 MOA if i really work it. course thats with a 9" bbl. of the dozen or so different 'swiss arms' available, which one where you reffering to?

The Swiss Army requirement is 9/10 shots in a 10cm circle with GP90 - from a machine rest, with a new barrel at the Proof House, something like 1.3 MOA. I don't know if the Canadian guns come with it, but the ones sold in Switzerland come with a test target showing 9/10 shots in a 10cm circle at 300m (surprise, surprise) and a rather long written warning that 100% dispersion will always be greater than a 10cm circle at 300m.

It also says that getting a 100-point result on the A100 target at 300m is pure chance and the rifle isn't mechanically accurate enough to do it repeatedly, but you can get 95 or higher if everything works perfectly. This is a question asked alot by Swiss shooters because the "raffle" course of fire usually requires you to get two hits of 97 or higher to win a cash prize. This implies the rifle will shoot something like 0.7 MOA, but that's bull#### frankly and contradicted by their own statement about the maximum dispersion (although you're talking about the average, rather than the maximum, and the average will obviously be smaller than the maximum dispersion). I've never met a Swiss shooter ever who could consistently shoot 95s or higher on the A100 target, and I know two of the best, one of whom I've scored.

The A100 300m target is 1m in diameter and divided into a hundred scoring rings.

Here is a picture, it gives you some idea of the accuracy involved rather than yapping on about MOA:

Although basically you're looking at 1.5 MOA top whack I'd say. I'm sure with enough effort you can find a handload that shoots better than GP90, but GP90 is pretty good stuff.
