It is a toss up for me. Savage 12BVSS in .308 or Remington 788 in .243 (I really like this little gun!!)

Remington 700 Classic in 17 Remington, Cooper 52 in 6.5-284 are the 2 most accurate I have. Some others that aren't bad are a Remington 788 in 7mm-08 and a custom 700 in 22-243.

I've got a little Savage 93 in 17HMR that is surprisingly accurate. Fun and cheap to shoot also!

Right now it's a Styer Pro Hunter in 243, next in line would be my Accumark in 300 Weatherby. Both are factory with sporting barrels. My Broughton 6.5x284 shot a .183 at 200 in Notree's and would stay inside .250 just about any day, but that one was built for the bench.



Yes! A Weatherby does kill them deader.

Probably my Weatherby Mark V Stainless chambered in 340 Weatherby Mag. It was sent to Hill Country Rifle for Accurizing and it is without a doubt the most accurate big game rifle I have ever seen. It can hang with just about any varmint rifle.

Depends on your definition of accurate. Will it shoot a tight 5 shot group at 100 yards? Will it shoot sub MOA groups to ______yards? Will the rifleman hit his desired target between ______yards and _____yards every time?

My Savage model 12 .22-250 is a sub MOA rifle out to 500 yards, then it starts to run out of steam and can't "beat" the wind anymore. But it's like a laser beam to 500

My Savage model 10 .308 will shoot sub MOA to 5 or 600 then hold MOA to to 800, then is 1.5 +/- MOA to 1000 yards. I call that rifle accurate, as it will allow me to hit my desired target at the range I am given. If there's a miss I believe it's the guy driving the rifle, not the rifle, in my case.

That clear as mud?

My 700 .308 shot sub MOA at 500. I've not tested it's groups past that. I have shot it out to 1075 @ 3 mils right.

Rem 700 sendero in 270. Shoot alot better than I do. Wish I had as much time to play with it as I did in hi school, now I pretty much just make sure I have enough of whatever kind of ammo I am going to hunt with loaded and check the site once before the season starts. I use to spend alot more time... and money shooting it though and got much better results.

My wife's Ruger M77MKII in .243 is an absolute tack driver. Hoping I can find a load for my new 6.8 that gets the results her gun does.

My Tikka 270 is probably the most accurate gun I have. Next would be my Browning 308.

Every Savage I have is more accurate than any Remmy I own. 6 Savages, 4 Remmys and some Winchesters.
I pick up my 700 ADL 7MM Mag. when I go hunting. It does less than 1 MOA and I have hunted with it for 30 years and have complete confidence in it and it kicks less than my .270. 68.5 gr. 4831, 140 gr. Sierra. Have 2 custom rifles that are dissapointing.
