My pre-64 standard weight 30-06 was the most consistently accurate rifle I have owned. It would put five factory Remington or Federal 150's into an inch. It would go well under an inch with select handloads. I shot silhouette with it and wore it out. I replaced the barrel with a pre-64 featherweight barrel in 30-06. It is finicky about what it likes but it will also group under an inch with select loads.
