Is your marksmanship better then your rifles ability

[Off in the Bushes]

So, if you have been following the last few posts from me on this forum you’ll have noticed that I’ve have been digging around for a .222 that is a good shooter. Accompanied by a brand that deliveries quality/ accuracy without a lot of diminished returns on the purchase. I prefer function over beauty so with function being the driving factor. How many of you know that your level/ skill as marksmanship excesses that of the rifle. How did you come to determine that.
