Field & Stream. I will note for the record that the average price is high because this is a left-skewed distribution. There are some reasonably priced rifles (like the Browning X-Bolt, Mauser M18, Savage M10 Stealth, and Bergara B-14), with the highest price being $3,999 (for the Proof Switch).
So maybe the mean should have been a geometric mean rather than arithmetic mean. In any case, you get the point. Accuracy doesn’t necessarily have to come with a big price tag these days.

In WWII the accuracy acceptability for sniper weapons was not what we think of today as “accurate”. Read John George’s “Shots Fired in Anger”.
The scope magnification power was feeble compared to today’s scopes.
Yet, snipers dealt havoc on the enemy. (from both sides)
The precision rifle matches field some fine rifles and some really outstanding shooters. Some 3 gun matches have open terrain venues and have targets out to 600 yards. Most of the competitors have no problem hitting those USPSA sized targets.
The price tag isn’t all that high.
Minute of asshole is all it takes.
