Default What makes a rifle most accurate

Although the industry seems to care more about easy of cleaning than accuracy, accuracy is still #1 in my mind.
What do you think are the most important factors that make a rifle more accurate than most. Is it barrel quality, meaning quality of rifling and a consistent bore from end to end? Is it mainly the fit of the barrel to the stock? Are most rifles capable of this kind of accuracy once you find the right load for it?
I have had some guns that the first time you shoot them they just feel, well, accurate. It seems that even when you change bullets and powder you may change POI but you still have that special something that makes them accurate and gives you great confidence. Other rifles you might have plenty of accuracy for hunting but not the same kind of consistency.
What do you all think?
