This is fairly typical at 200 yards
I'd look at the Ruger American or TC Venture. Both would be in your price range and are very good guns for the money. They each have short bolt throws/lifts and are accurate shooting guns. The Tikka would be a good choice as well but, tougher to find in your price range.
No that is a 3 shot group, I only shoot five shot groups in target and bull barrels, hunting profile barrels heat up too quick for longer strings. Group was so tight my spotter (with a 40X spotting scope) initially called the second and third shots as a miss You are not going to get any more accurate then that with a $600 off the shelf rifle.
Interesting choice. What made you decide on that?
I was going to throw another vote in for the American. Mine has performed very well.
I want a 527 as well!
