what's your most accurate deer rifle with factory loads
#11

Remington 700BDL with Winchester 120 grain PEPs. But that's the only ammo it shoots well. It shoots them into one hole at 100 yards. Everything else it shoots terrible.
I also have a Savage in 308 Win that shoots great.
My 300 Weatherby shoot under an inch at 100 yards with handloads. I have not shot a factory load out of that gun in 13 years. For $75 a box, I just can't do it.

I used that load in a Ruger 77 bull barrel back in the late 70s early 80s on antelope, deer, coyotes, etc.
Awesome accuracy. Deadly terminal performance.
Great bullet.

I am not much of a bench shooter but I have a Savage 110 in 25/06 that put the last 5 shots touching in a 1 inch bulls eye at 100 yards on its first box of Federal Premium 117 grain. I figured that was good enough for government work so I quit sighting it in at 100 and moved back to 200, lined up the BDC and it put a hole in the same 1 inch Bull at 200 yards. This was off a concrete bench, out of a vice, calm wind, and 70 degrees at sea level but the rifle shoots better than I do and keeps meat on the table. It’s a Nikon Pro Staff 4x12x50 on top by the way, not an expensive combination but a killin machine.

I think about every rifle I have shoots better than I can.
H&r .444, Rem 700 223, Savage 10 308, savage bmag .17 wsm, ruger 10/22, savage 64 .22 , browning BL-22
They all seem to be dead on if I do my part. I guess Ive never really viced them down to see which ones are the most accurate. I worry more about what I'm doing right/wrong.
Seems like even the budget rifles these days shoot sub moa if the shooter does their part.
