I have an older Remington KS Model 7 .350 mag with a 20" barrel that is bitch to shoot off a rest. It is light and hard to hold the forearm in a front and rear rest. I cannot shoot it with free recoil and 1 hand around the wrist. With 200 gr TSX's and TAC I have made more than a few 1 hole 4-5 shot groups at 100 yards despite that pencil thin barrel. I had it bedded and pimped up by Kampfield. What 1 hole wonder do you have?

Sako,
I have a 280AI custom Whitworth that shoots 1 hole groups and weighs 11 lbs.
Its my best shooting rifle and has never seen the field for 2 reasons. The rifle is awkward and heavy anywhere other than a bench. I have lots of 1 moa rifles that are good to 500 yds.
My 11 lb Whitworth in in the process of getting a #2 7X57 barrel and a different stock and scope. With the re-renovation it should come in at about 8.5 lbs and it will see lots of field time and should shoot 1 moa.

Here are a couple to start with, but first, Two points, I typically shoot commercial chambers I'm not that good of a shot, so with that in mind............. Here is a Sako 75 Hunter that started life as a 30-06. Reincarnated as a 9.3 x 62. Got it from Handwerk who posts here. Sako 75 Hunter, 9.3 x 62, 2.5 x 8 Ziess Conquest I've a longstanding love affair with single shot rifles. The Browning B-78 and 1885 High walls are copies of the Winchester 1885. Browning Hi-Wall, 454 Casull Typical accuracy is an inch or better with my handloads. However, who would think you could get this kind of accuracy out of a straight wall pistol cartridge at 100 yds. Best, GWB

Not always "one hole" but the most surprising is a LH Kimber of Oregon Model 84 in .223 purchased back in 1985 IIRC.
The bolt has always been stiff to operate, even after sending it back long ago to get a new extractor. Redneck here reports that it has something like .015" excess headspace. Further, it is a lightweight rifle with a very round forend not conducive to benchrest shooting. It has well over 4000 rounds down the tube, I stopped counting years ago.
But it will still group three or five shots into some of the tiniest groups I've attained on a regular basis. The only other rifle I've owned which shoots anywhere near as good is a heavy barrelled Model 700 VS. This Kimber handily outshoots my Tikka T3 .223.
Just can't explain it except that it must have an exceptional barrel.
Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery. Hit the target, all else is twaddle!

Wasn't that much a surprise, but happy to add this one to the nest - Interarms Mark X action, Pac-nor 22' #3 barrel, 358 Winchester. On a day with 15-25 mph winds, it shot a 5-shot group with factory fodder like this: Worked up some loads with 200 gr Sierra's and some IMR4064 and it did this 3-shot group: That's a 5/8" group there at the end. Yes, I'm pleased. Scope is a 1.75-6 Leica with a #4 German Post & plex reticle.

I would not say that I have a 1 hole shooter right now. Even though my Tikka 270, Rem700 7 RM, AND Win 70 (PF) 300 WM are consistent -1" shooters. However I have had TWO, 1 hole shooters. BOTH were Rem 700s, one a 6mm R BDL the other an 06 ADL. You had to look for a load that wasn't good and BOTH were amazing to me as to how accurate they were. I miss them! !

I have a Savage Model 340 in .222 that produced a half inch 5-shot group at 100 yards at exact POA with iron sights the last time I shot it. I have been afraid to shoot it again since then.

Not quite one hole, but pretty good for me. T3 Lite SS, 140 NP. P

My best was a .22 Cheetah it would shoot one hole groups as long as I could hold it.. But being a Cheetah, the barrel washed out pretty fast..

I have several that qualify but the one that amazes me is a Remington 700 in 260 Remington. I honestly thought I had missed the paper after the first round when it happened the first time. The problem with this type of rifle is that can no longer use them as a excuse for missing.

This is the best target I have loaded on Photo bucket. Somewhere in my stuff there's a target with an even smaller group.

Have a bunch of one hole shooters, not really surprising. Also, not surprising, is the second shot always ruins the short run.
No fear, no doubt, all in, balls out.

I bought a well worn rem 700 7mm mag to use as a donor. When it came in, I saw that it had been bedded and had a Timney trigger so I figured I would shoot it. Threw together a load with borrowed dies and 3 shots went into the 2's at 100 yds. Hmmm. Loaded up 3 more and they also went to the 2's. Result? I now have a 7mm mag that I didn't plan on.
I also bought a Marln .45/70 used and used the load provided. Through the 5x scope I could only see one hole on the target. I was pissed, thinking it was a lemon. Then I looked at the target up close and you could just barely tell that three 300 gr HPs had gone through the hole. It continued to punch out little bitty groups subsequently.

Biggest surprise ever- Browning model 65 lever action 218 Bee. Only 40 yards, but with iron sights 3 shots in one barely elongated hole.
