I quess it depends on whay you demand from a rifle. All of the ones that I have had have shot pretty well. I have had none that would not shoot two inch groups from the box. After a little shooting and finding the load they like, they will all shoot inch and a half or better. With further tweeking, most of them will do one inch. The ones that won't shoot usually comes down to the trigger as some of them are really tough. However NEF will do a free trigger job if you send it to them. In this respect they are better than most other companies. I wish Ruger which I really like would offer a simular service as I have never had a Ruger that didn't need a trigger job.
