1-1-1/2" groups is pretty much standard for any properly made factory rifle these days, but that's the key, "properly made". If you get one that measures up to Rem., Win., Rug., or CZ's own specs and properly mount a scope on it of sufficient power you should be able to get 1-2" groups with factory ammo. I have lever guns that shoot that well as well as a Browning BPS with a slug bbl that will do under 2".

All the other bells and whistles is part of pride of ownership. I like bells and whistles...
