RE: good,fast,flat,accurate caliber rifles
Hunt4fun1-To truly find out how accurate a rifle is requires extensive load testing that most people will never do.Most people will try one or two loads and decide if a gun is accurate or not based on the guns performance with those loads without even trying any more if the results were not good.Price alone is also not an indicator of accuracy.Weatherby's for example are quite expensive yet only guarantee 1-1/2" groups at 100 yards.Savages are much lower in price yet are often as accurate and sometimes more accurate than a weatherby.Sometimes you come across a gun that no matter what load you try it simply won't shoot decent groups.It does not matter who the shooter is the gun is not going to perform.On the other hand you may come across a cheap gun that shoots really well with the first load you try.These are extremes and neither situation is all that common.All gun manufacturers built their rifles to certain standards and some will be above and some will be below these standards so there is no way to guarantee accuracy based on brand or model.
