What is the most accurate factory rifle on the market today?

That may be impossible to answer.
You see, you can have 10 rifles of the same make and caliber and some will shoot better than others.

So when you look at the many rifles made today and understand that each model is made in several calibers and every singles rifles will have a load that will shoot better than other loads, the math becomes intimidating if not impossible.

I think it is safe to say that there are many rifles that can hold 1/2 MOA (until the throat starts to erode) and very few men that can do the same thing.

If a rifle and load can shoot 300% better than you can, what value is there in making one that can shoot 600% better?
You would never know it.
 
Yeah, what Wyo said.

But some of these would be up there:

-Cooper of Montana

-Blaser

-Nosler
http://www.nosler.com/m48-patriot-rifle/

-Sako

-Mauser

-Steyr

-Anschutz
https://www.anschuetz-sport.com/

-Weatherby Mark V
http://www.weatherby.com/products/rifles.html/

-Kimber

Really depends upon how you define "factory".

But yeah, certain BrownRemChesters may shoot with any of them on any given day, depending on specimen and load. Maybe that Ruger RPR might be able to hang in too.

I'd say, when in doubt, go Cooper for centerfire and Anshutz for rimfires.

When I say factory I mean any rifle that is mass produced. I was already thinking of going the sako thought just wanted some input.
 
i bet Ruger's new Precison Rifle is up there, but still, this is an impossible uestion. if you could barow down by price range/ caliber or something, it would help.

most likely it's going to be some model buil on a blueprinted 700 action, i consider those "mass-produced". but then again, the Knight's Armament SASS are giving even bolts a run nowadays. it really depends on the cost's you are considering, and when the distances you are considering for most accurate. the MOST ACCURATE 100 yard rifle is going to be whole lot different than the MOST ACCURATE 1000 yard plus rifle, your talking 6mm benchrest calibers to .338 Lapua's etc. 6.5 Creedmoor is probably filling the "mass-production" and "affordable" most accurate distace cartridge at the moment.

Nosler's new 26 is going to be i there too, as the best for a certain distance.

if your asking for what to purchase, give us your distance reuirements and price range. i would like to get my hands on the ruger RMR personally if i was looking right now. but it depends on so many variables of what you want and if you want a semi/bolt or whatever.

Ok I'll give something more to go on. This rifle is for hunting mainly whitetails I already a heavy rifle in 300wsm. I am buying this rifle to have something lighter carrying and to use out of a climber. My chosen caliber is 30-06 distances probably won't exceed 300 yards. I want to buy a good quality presion shooting rifle I could probably go up to $1200
 
To reinterpret some John Donne:

Every rifle is an island.


More precisely, and without the metaphor: Every barrel is unique.

------
I had several paragraphs here, but after re-reading your last post, I declared what I had written to be a waste of words.

So, I'll go with....


Buy a Ruger American, Remington 783, or Tikka. Top it with good glass (Leupold VX-3 or better).
It'll be more than adequate, and may even impress you.
Spend what the money that you saved on ammunition and supplies to have more time practicing with the rifle.

With the intended use that you've provided, practice and familiarity with the rifle will be far more useful than trying to rely on "the most accurate rifle" to get the job done.
 
Define "mass produced" - how many is in a "mass"? GAPs are mass produced by a small shop's definition, but yet still called custom. There's no black and white distinction.
 
those are pretty easy specifications.

for accuracy, my choice goes to Savage 112 VSS 30-06, may be a little tough to track down
thogh. this would be just as good most likely
http://www.tombstonetactical.com/ca...116-fhss-rifle-3006-22in-stainless-4rd-black/
second choice for me would be the CZ 557, actually very well maye my first choice. and its esy to find and leaves you some $$ for a dcent scope. www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/91664/CZ-USA+CZ+557+Carbine+Bolt+30-06+Springfield+20.5"+4%2B1+Wal
Tikka seems to be a god as any
http://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/...-06+Springfield+wStainless+Barrel+&+Black+Syn

but for a 300 yard gun, your bar is set very low, you can find several MOA or btter rifle in the budget catagory
 
Have you considered a 257 Roberts, 7 x 57, 308, 7-08, 280 Rem from a Sav-Rem-Win-Ruger-Browning. I'm guessing any of those would get you on deer at 300 yds. It would nice to be 22" barrel or shorter.
 
Just about any rifle you find anymore that's not a disposable will be OK for what you require. What you want is another thing altogether. My shop full of buckets of all sorts of brass bullets and other misc assorted stuff that is taking up the space of the new diesel pickup that would have probably been cheaper proves that.

I have:
Rugers
Winchesters
Brownings
Remingtons
Savages
A Husqvarna
Mausers
Weatherbys
A Sauer
AR's
M1s
A Colt Bolt rifle
UltaLight Arms

Surprisingly, the best for the money spent is...The Rugers. Then you can spend more on a good quality scope. Just my opinion.

Btw, .30-06 is good. I have a bunch of them.
 
Nathan I would like this rifle to be able to the down game up to moose size. I feel like that rules out the 257 308 7-08 7x57. I had considered buying a 7-08. If I was gonna but the 257 I would get a 25-06 instead. I actually was strongly considering the 280 but ultimately ruled it out due to ammo availability.
 
Tikka, Savage and Remington 700 all have a reputation for out of the box accuracy. The new Ruger Americans are proving to be pretty capable as well. That doesn't mean every example of every rifle listed above will always be more accurate than other brands.

You also have to ask, just how important a tiny bit of accuracy is. If my Winchester will keep 3 shots under .5" at 100 yards is a Savage capable of .3" groups really all that much accurate to a hunter.

There are no guarantees, but I'd buy a Tikka if pure accuracy was my only concern. Based on the ones I've shot and seen others shoot I think the odds are in your favor.
 
Thanks for the explanation. Makes me think I need to invent a 375 JRS! Oh waith there is a 375 Jones Rhino Stomper! It is a 375 bullet in a 284 Win case!

On a serious note, a 220 gr bullet at 2400 fps would be great....Maybe 338 Federal??

The ol' reliable 30'06 is a good choice too!
 
I have 4 Vanguards and all shot 1 MOA or less right out of the box. Two are S1's and two are the new S2 models....223, 6.5, and two older 06's. The one I have in 6.5 Creed will hold 1 MOA out to 500 yards with no problem. And for $500 it is hard to beat the price. Put the rest in glass.
 
I shoot a Remington 700 308 cal started out as a LTR, after 4000+ rounds of very accurate shooting, had the action, bolt face, lug & new M24 barrel blue printed, it's a great shooter. So I do like Remington's but my next rifle I'm looking at is the Savage Long Range Precision in 6.5 Creedmoor. Ruger also has some nice precision bolt actions. I kind of feel I'm not helping. Sorry.
