The best 100 yard groups I have ever been able to shoot with my rifle is more like 4" (ten shots), and I am more like 2" at 50 yards and I can hit 9mm shell casings all day long at 15 yards. I will believe 1" groups from a .22LR at 100 yards only when I see it.
Of course these are very high-end rifles and triggers with high-end optics and high-end shooters. Note that these are Anschutz sporter rifles, not their target rifles, which are even better. For those shooters with off-the-shelf "plinkers", I will believe it when I see it.
When I shot smallbore in high school on the NRA Junior Team we had folks that could consistently shoot that well with a match rifle. Also, you will not get the consistent accuracy as much unless you add match grade ammo like CCI or maybe LapuaI can tell you I would not have gotten my Master classification without the higher end rifle.
