I have purchased a dozen or more 700's in the past 10 years or so and every one shot MOA right out of the box so i really dont see any accuracy advantage with the Tikkas i have owned (which also shot MOA right out of the box) almost any newly CNC manufactured rifle these days will shoot MOA right out of the box, ive seen great accuracy out of Ruger Americans and TC Venture's which are by no means high dollar rifles........Hb
