Most accurate rifle out of the box?
I hunt a lot of clearcuts for whitetail and need a rifle that is accurate out to 200 yds. I haven't keep up with the latest improvements as my current rifle (BDL 30.06) was purchased over 20 years ago. Your suggestions are appreciated.

RE: Most accurate rifle out of the box?
I dont know how your BDL shots but ones I have shot are tuff to bet. the most accurate rifle I have ever bought was a RUGER 77MKII varment in 25-06 I bought it at local shop bought a tasco 8X32X40 target scope and bx of remington corlokts stoped at range on way home 1st group was 5 shots into a group a nickel would cover love that rifle. But for deer its a little heavy to carry around the woods. Id look at all the new rifles out there and pick one that fits you best and you like looks of best. I have bought a new remington 700LSS and a winchester model 70 featherweight in the last yr both shot well and look great. But both needed trigger jobs from the start due to the new lawyer proof heavy pull triggers from the factory.

I've had very good accuracy from Remington's Sako's,Winchester's, Browning's and Ruger's.Since every gun shoots differently with different ammunition it's really not possible to say which is the most accurate out of the box rifle.Best bet is find a rifle that fits you well and is comfortable.Try different brands and types of ammunition until you find one that your rifle likes.If you handload that's even better. You can work up a accurate load to fit your needs.With todays modern barrels accuracy is usual real good.The gun can only be as accurate as the shooter is or allows it to be.

At 200 yards almost any factory rifle is accurate enough.When the distances get in the 400 yard range accuracy is much more important.I have been very impressed with factory sendero's that I have shot although I don't own any factory rifles myself.
