Oh, I agree. I'm just one to appreciate a rifle that doesn't really change point of impact much from dirty to fouled. Over the last few dozen deer I've shot, the average distance would be something around 70 yards or less. I like not having to fire a fouling shot and/or worrying about a POI change if I am hunting in wet, icky conditions and clean the rifle.
I've had tack-drivers that would put the first clean, cold-bore shot a few inches (at best) from the next 5......which all went into .5-.75" at a hundred yards.
