Hands down, my Winchester M94 Timber Scout chambered in 30-30 Win. The cartridge limits the range a bit, but the average of my five-shot groups has been .74 MOA at 100-yards. I shoot a 170-grain cast bullet. Have no problems ringing gongs out to 300 yards with the scope or ghost ring. Not sure why this rifle is so accurate, but I have the same rifle in 44 Mag, the only two cartridges offered in the Timber Scout, and it is immediately behind the 30-30 in MOA performance. My bolt guns cringe when I pull either of these levers out as they know they are going to get a good trash talk'n.



I'm a practical hunter and don't get upset with MOAs inside of 2.5 as all of my hunting is limited to around 100-yards. I'm a hunter over a bench shooter, and 50 to 60 hogs in a year is a slow year for me.

I like guns and have a lot of them. Worst I've seen is a Ruger 77/44. Despite all the money & time for a drop in trigger and bolt shims, etc., the MOB (Minute of Barn) is such that I cannot guarantee a hit at 100-yards. Awful rifle.

With that said, anybody can become a good shot if they want to, it's all about the trigger. A good shot can shoot a bad trigger but a bad shot can't shoot a 500 dollar trigger.
