Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Most accurate factory rifle?

Sauer 100 would be a great contender. The one's ive owned have been super accurate with pretty much everything. Tikka a close second.

.........Weatherbys are primarily hunting rifles not precision target rifles. They don't need to win paper punchin "precision accolades."

Hint!!

The Remington “Sendero” series (blue or stainless) are pretty good factory rifles

If you keep it at $1500 even Tikks. CTR is out. Gotta leave some room for scope. My most accurate factory over the years was a Savage varmint in 22-250

I knew many would go this route, as they say YMMV......
The one and only Tikka I own is the most inaccurate Rifle I have ever owned, a 3to4 MOA rifle at best.
It shoots great now that I changed to a Bartlein barrel had the action trued and bedded.
As for straight factory the most accurate I have ever owned is a Winchester Heavy Varmint push feed in 220Swift, a true one hole rifle but wont meet the 10# rule
Under 10# a Sako AII 22-250 and a Remington 40-X in 222

Ruger American pred 6.5 creed, lightened trigger spring to 2.5lbs. Groups any handload from 123g scenar to 143eldx effortlessly. Sako a7 & tikka t3x rt close 2nd

I didn't say 1500$ for rifle and scope. Sorry if there was confusion. Idc if it has a Nightforce on top, an Athlon or a Kahles. 1500$ for the rifle. All I care about is rifle and scope not exceeding 10.5#. Something you would likely see in the hunting fields.

Also. 400yards may not be far. But we aren't talking about shooting groups or banging a gong. We are talking about shooting one maybe two shots and who is closest to the bull wins.

I've had exceptional accuracy (1/4-3/8" groups) with factory Steyr, Tikka and Weatherby Vanguards using handloads.

Steyr Model M Professional .30-06 with a Kahles 6x42 with #4 reticle that is sitting in my safe right now. If that one is above the price point I would go with the T/C Compass in 6.5 mm Creedmoor with a Leupold 3x9 on it. It is almost as accurate as the Steyr
