Most Accurate Rifle Out of the box

[johntheplinker]

Tikka T3 Lite in 223. Multiple sub .5" 5 shot groups @150 yards. Almost any decent ammo of heavier than 60 grains is well under .75 MOA, less than 60 isn't much worse. Bone stock, didn't even adjust the trigger.

I can back this up as well. My tikka 6.5 is about a .5moa gun, probably because of me. I have shot groups around 1/4" before but its not all the time. Decisions out if its me or the gun. Most likely me....

Sako 85 Long Range in 338 Lapua Magnum is absolutely incredible. My son bought one we have shot it out to 200 yards using 300gr Sierra MK. 5 shot groups touch each other. The smallest group was .878"

This thread makes me wonder... are there some people shooting their rifles while they are still in the box?




I'll show myself out and let the adults continue their conversation.

It would probably be my Savage MSR10 Long Range in 6mm Creedmoor. It was under 1/2MOA at 100yds.

Remington 700 CDL in 17 Fireball with Zeiss Conquest 4.5-14X44 scope. A sweet shooter.

I've sold it, but my most accurate out of the box was a Desert Tech SRS-A1 . It was amazing. I had a .308, .300WM, .243, .510 and, .300Whisper barrel for it. All 5 barrels were less than 1/2 MOA.

That is one sweet rifle. I wish I would have bought it off of you.

Mine is my Weatherby Vanguard in .257 Weatherby Magnum.

I hear the new Benelli rifle is pretty good.

 

[Sniper 79]

Savage 110 pre accu in 22-250, Savage 93R17FVSR in 17HMR, Panther Arms bull 16 in .223, Ruger K1022T in 22lr

All would put bullets through same hole. All with factory junk ammo except the Panther required handholding to get there. Sold them all except the 93R. Daughter is a sniper with it and likes shooting it.

This rifle was probably the very best as built from the box piece I have ever shot.

I've owned 2 Ruger precisions.... both were fantastic. 6.5 has an edge over 308

I thought about a basic Bergara in .243 win.

100 yard consecutive targets with match bullet loads.

When did Rem start offering Jewell triggers out of the box?

I’m a fan of the Howa 1500. My 20” .308 was an excellent shooter right out of the box. The trigger was good, but much better after a bit of adjusting. I wanted to see how good it could get and added a B&C medalist stock and glass bedded the action. With 168 gr. AMAX, 44 gr. Of Varget, CCI benchrest primers in once fired Winchester brass, it will put 5 rounds in a group you can cover with a dime at 100 all day long.

My now discontinued Tikka T3 Lite is head shaking accurate and best shooting rifle I have ever owned. Close second is a tie between my 1993 production M-700 and my Savage 116 WW

Really sad to see Tikka's go from the best deal in affordable rifles to still great shooters but no longer the best deal out there.

Browning X-Bolt Max Long Range Hunter in .308 Caliber

When did Rem start offering Jewell triggers out of the box?

Good point , but the Jewell did not make the rifle any more accurate than it was with the stock trigger. Made it much easier for ME to realize the accuracy potential.
But in all fairness you are correct - the targets I fired were not with the rifle in the "out of box" configuration.
