Describing a rifle as accurate when it gives a small group size. That is dispersion and nothing to do with accuracy no matter how often it has been printed as such.
If a rifle consistency puts its pellets exactly where I've aimed them, and thus produces a small group at the ranges I need - I'm calling that rifle 'accurate'. More importantly by far, the people I'm writing for have the same working definition of 'accurate' as I do. In the real world, a rifle that can be relied upon to group its pellets consistently throughout its intended range will be known as an accurate rifle.
Accurate is as accurate does.
If you don't know enough to judge - don't judge
My latest hate is LENSE. No idea where it comes from.
When I die don't let my wife sell my guns for what she thinks I gave for them!!!
Certificates but spoken as "cesstificate".
A rifle which puts a tiny group at (say) one corner of the target (when intending to hit the centre) is precise but not accurate.
A rifle which spreads shots evenly all over the target, but with the group centre at the centre of the target is accurate but not precise.
Marksmen seek to achieve both accuracy and precision.

What if the "zero" moves around - rifle fault, not a scope fault ? So it shoots a nice 5mm group centred on the centre of the crosshairs one day, then the next it's another 5mm group but centred 1" high, then the following day it's 1" left, etc...
Is it still an "accurate" ?
A practical example of this might be a temp sensitive gun, where day to day temp variations might push the POI arround.. but on each day it still groups very tightly ? Accurate ? Not really...
Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.
