    700 Remington .223. Nothing fancy, just a good shooter.

    I have a Hammerli 22SA .22 tube feed rifle that so far has not been out shot by any other .22 anyone has brought to the farm. It is a strange looking heavy gun from Mexico. Academy sold them about 5-10 yrs ago. The test target that came with it has 5 shots in one hole.

    My 700's hands down. After adding a timney trigger and HS stock everyone I own will cloverleaf. I have a 243 that will put three shots all in the same hole.

    Rem 700 SA rebarrelled to 22BR. Best 5 shot group was .313" Center to Center at 300 yards. using Nosler Custom Comps and IMR 8208. Usual for this rifle is 3/4 - 1 " groups at 300 yards on a good day. The gun is a way better shot than I am.

    Sako TRG .308 nothing else close for my factory rifles. It's nearly as accurate as my Rem 700 6mm br in a McMillan stock with a Krieger Heavy Barrel.

    '58 model 465 cz bruno 22 k-hornet.
    Will still put 5 or so into well within an inch at 100yrds with gummy tipped nosler 40 gns through the old Leopold m8x.
    Have to feed them singly or I can do 3 in the mag if I seat them deep and loose a little accuracy.

    I consider this good for a 59 year old rifle.

    At the last gun show a man had a TRG in 30-06 with Redfield/Oregon scope for $750. OF COURSE I didn't have $750!!

    What is the most accurate factory rifle you own?

    For new off the shelf guns these days I have had really good experiences with CZ bolt guns. I have heard good things about Sako, but no personal experience. The Browning lever actions made by the Japanese in the 1980-1990s have some great barrels on them.

    My most accurate factory rifle was a Winchester 22-250 heavy bull/varmint barrel. Even with factory ammo it was easily a .75 MOA rifle. I have now pillar and glass bedded the action and free floated the barrel so it is no longer technically a factory rifle. Now with hand loads and a cold barrel it can clover leaf five shots at 100 yards.

    A Remington 300 Win Mag topped with a Leupold Scope 6.5 x 20 x 50mm it will take my limit of deer with one shot each from point blank out to 500 Yards while deer hunting if I do my part.

    I am a meat hunter and only shoot paper targets to sight in this rifle. It kicks like a mule and will make you look like a raccoon if it is not held properly.

    I bought a Mauser 98/22 for $110 from Big 5 here in Vegas a few years ago. It was so ugly and ungainly that I decided to customize it. Prior to working on it the thing would produce 1.25" groups with handloaded 7.92x57 using 10 grains of Unique at 100yds. So I had a local gunny Ray Lynn replace the barrel with a Douglas Match Grade 6.5x55 MM unit. He worked over the bolt and polished it, added a decent Timmney trigger, restocked it with a laminated thumb hole stock and added a Buehler safety and turned the bolt handle down. He then reblued the whole shebang and it turned out to be a really good shooter. With 140 gr Hornady flat based bullets it will group at less than 3/4" at 100 yds all day long. With my handloaded cast boolits and a gas check it will print at http://castboolits.gunloads.com/asset.php?fid=54495&uid=1229&d=14031455751" all day long with cheap Unique powder.
