I think it is a credit to many of the gunmakers on how well their factory rifles shoot. I just bought a tikka 243 for my son and it shoots very well with 95 BT. Ruger, tikka, howa ,savage, you can go down the list.Great accuracy, for minimum money. It used to be that if you had a factory rifle that shot an inch group,you had a real shooter. .
I agree there are good shooting rifles from the factory.
You don't have to buy butttt ugly.
