trolls and bitter nay sayers are everywhere. Unfortunately, it's a staple of the internet world. Most times they are neophytes who are talking out of their mudwhistles. They can't afford the guns they slam and they tread closely to the line of libel. Even if they
can afford the gun, they couldn't hit the broad side of a barn with it, from the
inside. Thankfully for me, they are easily identified and ignored.
Anyway, i've had the pleasure of shooting and inspecting a boat load of baers. I've yet to come across one that would not shoot 1.5" @ 50yds, with the right ammo, regardless of it's stated group guarantee. Possibly the most respected and best informed maker of
bullseye ammo reports the same thing. Baers are just sneaky accurate.
The 1.5" guns get an extra 8hrs on the bench. That translates into the extra $250 on the tag.
