Default RE: Most acurate bolt action

If push came to shove, I'd have to say that the most accurate out of the box is the Weatherby Mark V. It is also heavy, expensive and kind of disco-looking. But it is strong and positive, and can handle the maximum-pressure, maximum-velocity cartidges better than any other. Although offered, it is overkill for standard rounds.

The most accurate out of the box "standard" factory RIFLE is probably the new Browning A-Bolt. However, I think it has more to do with the barrel than the action. The Sako is also very accurate, but a bit more expensive.

If you were going to rebarrel a current action, I'd go with a Remington 700 as being the most accurate available.

Good Dogwork and Good Hunting
