New Contest Starting Now! This Target Haunts Me
Tell us about the one that got away, the flier that ruined your group, the zero that drifted, the shot you still see when you close your eyes. Winner will receive a free scope!
If you don't really want to deal with custom, or are getting analysis paralysis like I did, the LH Tikka Tac A1 I picked up a couple months ago is a far better rifle than any production gun has a right to be.
It is consistently giving me 0.3-->0.4 MOA results with a moderate hand load. And...
Just for clarity, not that it really matters, but this group was just used to illustrate my question. The 'offset' see here from POA is just coincidental in this case. I was doing load work up and always adjust so POA/POI are the same once I have load determined.
Annnnddd....I also ponied up...

For what the OP describes...finding downed animals, that SEEK that I linked above rocks. I've picked out hogs at 300 yards with it and down deer in the middle of the thickest laurels you can imagine at 100 yards.
I've had very good luck tracking with a SEEK Thermal adapter on my phone. No, it's not a FLIR, but it lights up like a christmas tree when there's an animal down in the thick stuff. It's not so much tracking the blood trail as just lighting up the animal itself. So, it's for those 'right at...
The point about not trying to be the know-it-all rules guy is spot on. That never works in any part of life where someone with a bit of authority has a different idea. Kinda like arguing a ticket on the side of the road. Be polite, plan on extra time and go with the flow. It's always worked...
