toddyboman Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 Which company do you think puts out the most accurate gun? No custom stuff just straight from the factory. We all know every gun is different and every caliber is differnt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mehunter Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 Re: Accurate gun? The most accurate I myself have ever had is a Tikka in 270. It is an absolute shooter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 Re: Accurate gun? I will have to say Kimber or Cooper. Sure there are occasional Rem, Savage, Browning, Winchester, Woogah, Sako, Weatherby, or other company that makes a bughole shooting gun but not consistantly. They all have ok to good shooting guns with some occasional...well, lets call them guns build on January 1st when all the employees are hung over. To have consistant guns that shoot little groups would have to go to Kimber or Cooper. They are factory guns to boot, just not as mass produced as the others.

unioncountyslayer Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 Re: Accurate gun? I would have to say Browning and T/C. And yes I'm partial because I own both, but I've also had Remington, Marlin, Weatherby. Straight out of the box in my opinion it would be Browning #1 and T/C #2.

Jeramie Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 Re: Accurate gun? Actually this is a hard one to say. If you get down to brass tax, you really would have to shoot factory ammo to get a good assumption. I think most guns will far out shoot the average shooter (myself included). Consistency? From all ive shot I think the Tikka would have to be the most consistent. I have had a Rem700 that was an absolute tack driver, and Rem 742 that was actually dead on the money, a savage that would split hairs, and a ruger that could punch touching holes all day. All with factory ammo..... I wouldn't assume those guns are accurate due to brand name. I honestly believe it was just running across the right gun. However, Ive never seen a Tikka that didn't hold a good pattern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 Re: Accurate gun? The savage model 10 out of the box was pretty accurate rifle. After a little trigger job, it was even more accurate. Personally I think it really will depend on the shooter though. Sometimte you can take a remington model 700 that just feels right for you and feed it cheap core lokt ammo and have a pretty accurate rifle, if it feels right for that shooter. Take the same shooter with a gun that has equal ability, but now a gun that feels awkward or does not fit right and the shooter will likely not group as well. Having a gun that shoots well for you is a pretty critical part of accuracy in my opinion. Like Jeramie says here most manufacturers put out guns of quality that will in many cases out perform the person who is using them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OJR Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 Re: Accurate gun? I have had great accuracy with the Tikka's! I have 2 of them, one 270 and the other one is a 308! Both are great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasDeerHunter Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 Re: Accurate gun? I have had Rem, Browning, Win, Weatherby, and Ruger. And in my experience the Remington 700's have shot the best, they claim to be the most accurate out of the box. I know the Kimber is an awfully good rifle too.

LETMGROW Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 Re: Accurate gun? And who makes the best truck? This discussion could go on forever without being settled. In my lowly opinion ,it isn't the brand as much as the fit and feel to the shooter as to which gun shoots best. I have handled some " high end " guns I really didn't feel comfortable with, while on the other hand some cheaper guns just seemed to fit me perfectly. Granted you can buy different stocks and forearms etc. or have a gun custom made for you. But why? If you want to buy a gun, go to as many stores or shops and handle as many guns as you can until you find the one which feels like it is a part of you. Then you may have the perfect shooter. I hope!!!! BTW, in AJ's defense, I haven't held a Kimber I haven't liked! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] Im not wanting to debate or coming to a settled answer. Just curious as what each person has shot or been around that they thought/felt was accurate. The bottom line most every gun can shoot better than the person handling it. Just curious that's all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toddyboman Posted March 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 Re: Accurate gun? Thanks for all your answers guys. Keep em coming. As for myself I'm a BIG BIG fan of the Remington model 700's. But always looking for other options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaun_300 Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 Re: Accurate gun? I love the Remington 700s for accuracy too, my .22-250 will drive tacks! I was also surprised how accurate my Browning BLR is too, I've got it in .300 WSM and that too is a pretty darn accurate rifle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deerslayer79 Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 Re: Accurate gun? out of the box definately goes to savage,if you are on a budget try a break action H+R,they have a awesome choices of calibers,except magnums,from 17m2 through 45-70 and are darn accurate guns.

LifeNRA Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 Re: Accurate gun? I know both of our Browning A-Bolt Medallions shoot great. Dads 30-06 and my 270. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strut10 Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 Re: Accurate gun? The most accurate out-of-the-box gun I've ever owned (by a looong shot) is a Ruger. There's also a factory Weatherby Vanguard (Howa) in the safe that's a 1/2 MOA shooter. There's also been Brownings, Winchesters, Remingtons, etc. that have all shot quite well. But it's pretty hard to generalize an answer to this question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jodyslilbro Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 Re: Accurate gun? The most accrate gun(s) is the Thompson center and Arms Encore. My brother used the .243 for groundhogs and never missed. I used the muzzloader and shot a nice doe with it. But the most accurate gun I've used so far is a 30-30 Merlin. Let me tell ya, it leaves a mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a TC 25-06 barrel for my Encore, and it shoots good enough for hunting, but wouldn't bet money at the range with it too_ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowana Posted March 23, 2007 Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 Re: Accurate gun? The Weatherby Accumark or Fibermark series. They are actually component guns consisting of Creiterion or Kreiger barrels (same company-these barrels are cut rifled or button rifled, not hammer forged like Ruger or Remington) and Bell and Carlson or HS Precision aluminum bedding block stocks. the triggers are fully adjustable and are excellent. Any other gun that I have purchased, I have replaced the trigger with a timmney or rifle basix trigger. Not my Weatherby's. Yea, they cost 1600+ dollars BUT THEY ARE WORTH IT!
