Hands down,the 2 most accurate "out of the box" rifles I've owned were 7 Rem mags. A M700 BDL,and a Tikka T3. Now bear in mind,they didn't do it with all bullet weights. One preferred 150 grain bullets,the other 160 grain. Both shot sub MOA across the board. Out of the box. No tinkering. Neither kicked bad at all. Easy to load for. Our elk camp has taken five bulls in two trips. All with the 7 Rem mag. Every man's belted magnum. Usually the first "magnum" hunters buy. Nuttin wrong with that. Hey I was born in the fall of 62. A lot of good things came out of that year.
