My most accurate is a Kimber Classic Varmint in .17Mach 2. It literally shoots one hole groups. Most accurate big bore is my Mdl 770 SS classic 375H&H. I have one 20 shot group that measures .7. That's correct 20 shot group. My Mdl70 257 Roberts consistently shoots under 3/8ths.

This one.....right now anyway. This barrel has 2000+ rounds through it and hasn't been cleaned in over 300 rounds. It was never "broke in" either.
Luck....is the residue of design...

I'll have to get a pic of the fence post, meaing the rifle looks like a fence post... It's a 788 Carbine in 7/08 that I have Weavers on and a 3-9 Burris. I'll say three things about it: One=it's loud (18" tube) Two=it's scarry accurate and bug holes are the norm when I'm not having a Monday Three=it's uglier than a bucket full of butts But, it just doesn't matter what I run down it, to cluster 3 is pretty much the norm. Hmm, and I have a whole 250 bones in the rig. As for break it, pretty sure that happened when it was drug behind my Honda horse for a few miles. Dober

What is the cartridge? What finding your pet load an ordeal? This one.....right now anyway. This barrel has 2000+ rounds through it and hasn't been cleaned in over 300 rounds. It was never "broke in" either.

Like it says on the target, .260 and 130 VLD's.
Ordeal? Hardly....that rifle shoots everything like that. I'm really not much of a paper puncher. That rifle has killed more coyotes than it has put holes in paper....

I don't have any heavy barrels as we have little use for them in this neck of the woods.
My most accurate rifle, CZ 452 Lux. This is one of the most accurate .22's I have owned period.
Centerfire: Ruger 77 MKII in 7x57. It shoots 139 hornady's with H4350 into consistent 1/2 MOA, 5 shot groups. Best 5 shot group so far was .424". This is the most accurate factory rifle I have owned, shot, or personaly seen shoot groups that small in a big game caliber.
I did eventually replace the trigger but have not improved the groups since the swap. I really do not think I can shoot any better than that without much bigger glass to aim it.
Nothing is fool proof for a sufficiently talented fool !!

Mine is a sporterized Remington built 03-A3 in 6mm-250 w/ a Sako barrel & Fajen stock built by Tennessee gunsmith HW Creighton. I picked it up here several years ago for a song because it had been neglected. While I was waiting for the rifle to arrive I scored some dies and built loads. Imagine my surprise when this was the first 3 shots I got on paper using a cheap scope: These are 75 gr Horn HPs, RL15 & CCI-250 primers; since then I've found it'll shoot 90 gr NBTs w/ RL15 as well as moly'd Speer HCs w/ RS-Hunter (FAST!) pretty well: I refinished the stock and had the barreled action bead-blasted & parkerized, and topped it w/ an El Paso Weaver K6 purchased here as well. Running IMR4895 & 60 gr Sierra HPs I get even better groups than those above, but woodchucks don't seem to like it very well :

I also have a CZ 22LR but in the 453 variation. Retarded accurate to say the least. Ive said it before in the rim fire forum. Easily one of the best values in the industry.

Oh crap... there is this Vangard in 257 Roy that I traded into here: I've never drunk the mono-metal kool aid, but found a deal on 100 gr ETips here and decided this was the rifle/cartridge to utilize monometals in. The first time I was out to the range the lower left (2 shots) and center (3 shots) were the first load I put together using the very wise & precise instruction I received in the big game rifle reloading board here: They later chrono'd 3575 fps.
