Your most accurate centerfire rifle..... - The Firearms Forum

B27 · 10-26-2012, 12:51 AM

Mine is a stock Remington 700VS in .308 Winchester.
It is very ammo sensitive but with Black Hills 168gr. molycoat match the darn thing shoots like a laser.

Has a Leupold 2.5-10x50 on it.

jack404 · 10-26-2012, 01:05 AM

Parker Hale 2000 series in 7.26 NATO

maybe the Mcmillian in .416 wildcat but i'm still working that one up yet i think it will be if i figure a format for ranged ammo

under 400

Tikka T3 Custom in 22/250 1 hole at 200 5 round .29" past 400 no

They make reloading equipment. No longer making scopes.

Here is a picture. She is good for minute or squirrel out to 400+yards. I know because I have done it.

Handsome rifle!

hardluk1 · 10-26-2012, 08:02 AM

What barrel do you have on that mauser. Nice looking rifle.

My ruger 77 mkII krieger barrel , 7mm rm , also good for 1" at 400 yards with handloads. Just not sure about me any more.

gdmoody · 10-26-2012, 09:47 AM

That sure is a pretty stock on that Garand! All of my centerfire rifles are accurate it's just the fellow holding them that is not very good!

zachp · 10-26-2012, 12:29 PM

Under 100 yards my Savage 93r17 17 hmr. Over 100 my NEF Handi Rifle in 25-06, amazes me for a single shot break down rifle.

10-26-2012, 01:59 PM

I believe the barrel is a Douglas.

zkovach · 10-26-2012, 02:49 PM

Mines a bull barrel howa m1500. It's amazingly accurate

Sandman · 10-26-2012, 03:05 PM

Mauser 98 in 7mm08 with a Lilja barrel.

gun runner · 10-26-2012, 07:23 PM

Mine is my Savage 10/110 .308. Very accurate even though I have shaky hands I get most of the shots wherever I want them to go. The rifle is VERY ACCURATE!

old semperfi · 10-26-2012, 08:52 PM

i have two savage 110 tacticals with canjar triggers.when shooting my 223 at one hundred yards i get upset if my groups go over three quarters of an inch.i am using my own hand loads.the 308 will do the same but when your target is a one inch square bullet over lap occurs with three shot groups. old semperfi

JLA · 10-26-2012, 09:07 PM

Savage 11 action, CBI barrel, .308 win. high .5s at 200 yds.

jim brady · 10-26-2012, 09:08 PM

My most accurate rifle is my 1903 Springfield, military full C Stock and 3X9 rangefinding scope. Ugly as sin (looks like it was dragged behind a jeep several times), but it will shoot sub- 1/2" groups at 100 yards all day with M73 match loads.

JLA · 10-26-2012, 09:10 PM

Ive got one of those jim. Cept mine was still packed in cosmo when i bought it last year so it looks brand new, and it dont have a scope.. But it is quite a shooter.

B27 · 10-27-2012, 03:47 AM

i have a nice 1903 with the C type stock....

But the sights are so hard for me to see I can't really tell how accurate it might me.
I recently got a 1903A3 also with the C type stock.
Sights much easier to use but I have not shot it yet.
