That's the best answer for the best gun, the one that fits YOU the best and feels the best. For me, I like the feel of my Winchester model 70s, then my zastava 798(refuse to associate it with Remington), then my wife's Xbolt. My guns are tack drivers, hands down. I've seen others shoot them decently, but not to the degree of accuracy I can. It obviously is not the best for them, or they just need more practice. Also, don't buy into the hype of what the military uses. They use what is going to be cheapest to aquire and meets their demands, then go thru the thing completely afterwards(referencing the sniper rifles). Some remys shoot good, and some shoot horrible. In the end, if you got something that feels good to you, you're one huge step closer to shooting accurately.
