Re: VEKTOR H5 accuracy?
The milsurp SA made Berdan primed ammo is capable of 3-4 MOA accuracy at best. Funny enough, I have some Boxer primed local FMJ ammo (packaged in the same brown 30-round packs) that does 1,5 MOA.
The H5 rifle should be capable of 1,5 MOA or less with good ammo and if the scope base is sitting tight. The single screw and dovetail arrangement that holds the action cover/scope base does not inspire lots of confidence in me. If it is removed for cleaning, then some zero shift is also expected.

It does happen, yes, and probably more often than one would care to admit.
This particular young man does not know much about firearms, and was used to another rifle. I do not think that he understood the limitations of the H5. It seems that they wounded an animal at 50 metres, and he did not understand how that was possible. From the answers on this thread he would hopefully be able to get the best out of the particular rifle.

Re: VEKTOR H5 accuracy?
Is it legal to hunt with semi-automatic rifles?

Basically, no. The sole exception I know of is that some provinces allow semi's for varminting/pest control.
Just note: the Vektor H5 is a pump action, not semi-auto.
To follow suggestions like these is what causes folks to mention "dominee" and "#&*%=@" in the same sentence

Re: VEKTOR H5 accuracy?
A local jackal hunter used an H5 for his pest control. Inexplicable misses eventually made him get rid of it and he is now using a 204 Howa with great success.
