well I only read the first page of this thread so I don't know what is on the other pages. My response to this thread is simply there isn't a "most accurate" rifle. All manufacturers and custom gun makers will throw out a POS once in a while or a super accurate rifle. But on the average you get what you pay for. I once owned a Rem 700 bull barreled 7-08 production rifle that I used for high powered shilloutte shooting that had produced groups as small as 3/8" at 200 yds and another sporter barrel .270 that shot 1/2" groups at 100 yds. I've also had them that shot no better than 2" groups @ 100. But from the 25 or 30 hunting rifles I've owned or owned I've had the most consistency out of the box with Savage or Tikka. (only experience with one Tikka)
