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? |
Probably in my opinion the order of importance:#1 Barrel to stock fit,#2 Barrel crown quality,#3 rifling consistency from end to end. After that it is up to the shooter. Again, this is Just My Opinion.

I am also trying to think of a way to say that there are different expectations for different classes of guns.... such as should or will you expect a slow twist sidehammer PRB gun to shoot modern projectiles as well as a faster twist, shallow grooved modern barrel - but then again the modern one will and should not be asked to shoot a PRB with great expectations... does that make sense.... |

yall are forgetting some very important things here,,,first off are you talking about black powder or cartrige gun at any rate if a rifle dont fit you you will never shoot as well with it as you may with a proper fitting gun. 2nd,,i dont care how much quality you spend for
a poor shooting gun is that pure and simple. its a crock saying you have to spend multi dollars to get a good gun...i bought a pr of cva inlines for 200 bucks from redhead,,and they shot great,,i only gave em up to get a mag ,,150grn gun,,i liked the optima because of the sealed breach..and all bullits dont shoot the same ,,i got some power belts once that was nothing but pure junk...i dont call 1 ft groups good enough at 100 yrds..for any gun..heavy bullits seem to do better than the lighter ones..this will most likely be a subject that no one will agree to till the end of time ,,,but thats my opinion,and thats why america is so great,,, |
Sounds like they covered it well. But accuracy to me depends on the rifle, the powder, the projectiles, the accessories, and how well it is maintained. I also have some cheap rifles that shoot real well. And I have a couple that are definitely short range weapons.

the shooter by far... doesn't matter what ya got if mickey mouse is behind it!!!
