I posted my 22lr above, but I have a Rem 700 5R Gen2 with a trigger tech and Burris XTR 2 that is the most accurate bolt gun I’ve ever had. This was my best 5 shot group from the 100 yard Garland Public Range when I first sighted it in. I’ll never get rid of either of them.

Tikka Varmint 223 with my handloads. Target below is at 600 yards. First shot was high, I adjusted and then put 3 shots in about 1.5 inches. There are 2 hits on top of each other in the bottom left of the orange and another just outside. The orange is 2 inches diameter.

A couple of other groups at 600 yards with the same rifle and load.

For what it is, my 1955 HRA M-1 Garand. With it's iron sights, handloads, and me doing my part, I've shot a few 1" 4-5 shot groups at 100 yards. Can't imagine how it would shoot with a scope.

My most accurate hunting rifle is my Ruger M77 Mk.II in 6.5x55mm Swedish Mauser.

Over the years, I've had a few rifles that shot very well. I was practicing getting dope for a match with my original Surgeon 260 Rem, and shot a 4 shot group at 600 yards at 1 5/8". My first 7mm/300 Win Mag shot a 7", 3 shot group at 1 mile. I thought that one was pretty nice. My current Surgeon 6.5x47 Lapua will stack them almost in the same hole at 100 yards. I have hit the .25" dot multiple times on the KYL stage (Know your Limits) in competition when shooting the 1", 3/4", 1/2" and 1/4" dots, and that's on a warm barrel. But a 1/4" dot plus .264" means all you have to shoot is better than .514" to break the line for the points. For some rifles, that's very doable.

My overall most accurate is a home built Savage 308 with a Shilen barrel. I've talked about it alot.

My single best group at 300yds is from my wife's Tikka 223 varmint simply in a KRG Bravo chassis. I'm sure others do much better but I was extremely proud of myself. Even had some very moderate wind that day.

I’ve got several but probably have to say a CTR 6.5 CM. My Alamo precision 7-08AI is showing serious promise during fire forming though. Already hit steel at 1200 yards with it.

Took a Sako S20 6.5 PRC out to the range today for it's maiden voyage. Topped it with a new to me Arken EPL 6-24x50. After boresighting the old fashioned way, the first 5 shot group with Norma 143g target load went into a nifty .412 group. A little surprised, I tried again and this time 5 shots went into .344, literally one ragged hole. A 3 shot group with Hornady 143gr ELDX factory loads soared to .655, followed by a 3 shot group of 147 ELDM factory loads at .781. The thumbhole stock is ergonomically superb.

It’s a pretty good toss up between my tikka t3 stainless 7mm-08 and my Remington 788 223. My personal best group at a 100 yards with the 788 and factory loaded Remington 55 gr psp. All holes touching making one big clover leaf hole.

What do you think of that S20?

Super slick action, feeds great, awesome trigger, stock is a little plasticky but ergonomically fantastic. The adjustable cheek piece works well but a little cheesy if you ask me. Can't argue with results though.

Almost bought one of those when I was looking for my 7mm Rem. Mag. Got hands on with one at Scheels and yes the ergonomics were great. I went with the Tikka Roughtek, couldn't make myself love the "looks" of the stock on the Sako and the performance of my two other Tikkas. You did good.


An unethical shot is one you take, that you know you shouldn't.

Nearly bought one in 6.5 PRC but the stock was a deal-breaker. Just too plasticky for that $.

New to the forum. This seems like a good place to make my first post

My newest favorite is my CZ457 in .22 LR. I put a Dead Air Mask on it and even shooting subs it's pretty accurate.

[Linked Image]

I have a plate that I can hang exactly 45 yards from the back door. You can see the fencepost that I hang the plate on in the first photo. Here's a shot from the CZ. 5, make that 4 rounds (we'll just ignore that little blip up in the top left corner near my traffic awareness finger) into the plate. I was leaning against the door jam when I shot this. It's a wonder that I hit anything.

[Linked Image]

My .20 PPC shoots pretty well but I haven't had a lot of time for load development.

[Linked Image]

This is not my target. It's the target that Shawn Carlock (builder) sent with the rifle. It'll do smile

[Linked Image]

This is my .338 Edge and my dad's old .30-.30. I'm almost 65 and he bought it well before I was born. The .338 Edge has not been shot beyond 800 yards, however, I've come to realize that if I miss when I shoot this rifle, it's my fault. That's usually the case of course, but this rifle is a shooter. Best I've ever owned.

[Linked Image]

Here's the target that Shawn sent with this rifle. For the longest time I was loading 94gr of H1000 and 300 gr SMK's or Bergers. It shot ok but not quite to this level. His paperwork says 90 gr. and while felt recoil isn't much. 90 grains of powder is easier on the brass and shooter.

The current project is an 8.8 Blackout. It's almost ready to go.

I guess I can't edit after time has passed... 8.6 Backout not 8.8. 8.6 is controversial enough smile

I was going to ask if that was another wildcat to go with all your others. Can't think of any .34 calibers.

Sako A7 300 Win Mag - .435 MOA. It's a J.G. load. And I expect he can make it better.

Savage 17hmr I forget the model but is a bull barrel stainless version with a laminate thumb hole stock and it is just absolutely lights out for everything I have tried to shoot with it. So much fun!
