Off the bench I have been able to keep my Pedersoli sharps and original Winchester Highwall in 45/70 and 38-55 respectfully into 1 1/2" groups up to 300 yds off the bench. I can't do that off the cross sticks or off hand. But was able to shoot a 90with 1 X offhand at 100 yd last Sat. The wind was howling, gusting and switching directions like a dog with a burr in its tail. And, most importantly thats minute of deer up to 200 yd for me.

It depends very much on your standards,  Occasional small groups fired in practice or groups fired under match conditions.  Number of shots fired makes a huge difference.   

Bench rest take the ASSRA target and consider the center is 3/4 moa. Few all center targets are fired in matches.  A perfect score of 250 is the standard for 10 shots

Offhand the very best shooters aspire to top Dr Hudson's 2300 for 100 shots any sight,  Iron sight the mark is Hayes 2200 for 100 shots.  I don't think either have ever been topped.  You do see 240's for 10 shots regularly.

My two Traditonal Schuetzen offhand rifles, 38/55 and 32/40 are  1 1/2 moa guns. With the rimfire barrel one of them can shoot 1 moa using the best ammo.  I think it takes a modern single shot stocked for bench rest to do significantly better

Holy smoke! I almost choked when I reread my own post. I meant to say minute and a half groups up to 300 yds. That is 1.5 in groups at 100yds, 3 in groups at 200, and so on. The only 1.5 in group I could shoot at 300 yd would only have two holes in it. I'm terribly sorry for misspeaking.

CBA Records for plain base bullets.

100yd 5 shot group 0.1903
200yd 5 shot group 0.503

100yd 10 shot group 0.400
200yd 10 shot group 1.063

These Records were shot with a 15 minute time limit with moving backers.

Most rifles will shoot better than you think; you just need to spend the time and effort into getting the most out of them.

gents,
one can only agree with the record books.
today i pulled out a cumberland mtn arms highwall I chambered on a douglas barrel with a jones 300 gr slug and decided to tune it.my second group 10 shots measured 1.075 @200 the third and fourth opened up to 1.125 and 1.180.
be willing to bet I could not do that again for a while.
was shot with a lischert 12x.

Kinglooie,
A lot depends on what caliber you're shooting and whether you're using smokeless or black powder.
  With calibers in the .32 class you should be able to shoot four, five shot groups at 100 yds. under an inch with either powder, and on occasion some of them 1/2" or under.
  When you get into the over 40 calibers then it becomes more difficult. You should,with a lot of work be able to hold 5 shots down around 1 1/4" at 100 yds., with a few under  an 1" with either powder, altho many feel that anything under 1 1/2" with BP is doing pretty good.
  I used to hold, and maybe still do, the WSU 5 shot group record at 100 yds. using BP, with a group slightly under 1/2". This wasn't a fluke as 4 or 5 groups shot in a row that day averaged under an inch.
