My first big game rifle was a tang 270 - super accurate with factory ammo. Bought another 270R , 270RL, 7mm-08, 338, 6mm Rem, 7 Rem Mag and a 243 - all used and all tangs - and ALL are super accurate. Of all of my rifles, about 25 or so, the 270 and the 7mm-08 are probably the most accurate, both shooting well under an inch at 100 yards. With factory 140 grain ammo, the 7mm-08 put 10 shots into an inch with it's classic Redfield 2X7 widefield scope.
My one son also has the tang "habit" having 5 of his own. It is a close call bwtween his standard 22-250R and his 22-250 Varmint gun as to which one is more accurate.
I have heard of some tangs being inaccurate, but that has not been my experience or that of my son.
