What part of a gun is makes it accurate?
 
Do you think it is the barrel,the action or the stock????
[I don't need to here the thing about the person shooting it!]

Simplest answer is any and all three.

All 3 plus a good trigger pull.

I agree it's a combination of things. However, I'd say that if the barrel is bad it won't matter how good anything else is.

Ditto for me. To me the trigger almost makes the gun. That is why I started hunting with Blasers.

Trigger is so good on those rifles it makes you want to cry

The shooter! Most guns can out shoot their owners, plain and simple.

The barrel is definatly the most important. This is JMO, but when people say a rifle is "more accurate than they are", I think they are making excuses for a lousy grouping rifle (off sandbags anyhow) .
I have to disagree because there is nothing as consistant as a machine rest. Consistancy is the be all and end all of accuracy. Cma, do you know anyone that is as accurate and as consistant as a machine rest?

The nut behind the bolt.

The finest rifle in the world will only be a 10 moa shooter if the nut behind the bolt is only capable of holding 10moa.

Sorry Mounting man, I blazed past your second line. Like cma said, I think its the barrel.

I would have to say it is the barrel. That is if you have a decent action,such as a Rem.,Win., or Savage,ect.
If it is not,then why do the barrel makers have such a good business going?
Who ever shot out an action????I've done in quit a few barrels!!!!!

What makes a good race car?

Is it the tires, suspension, aerodynamic body, engine, driver or is it a combination of all of these things combined?

Same thing applies to guns.

The best barrel in the world isn't going to do you a bit of good if it's put into a $25 stock and has a trigger pull that feels like sand paper rubbing against each other.

The best trigger isn't going to be worth a darn if the barrel is rough, fouls easily, isn't held to extremely tight tollerances, etc... or the person pulling the trigger flinches every time he does so.

So on and so on.
