Tikka for the the right price for just hunting and plinking and coopers are more money,but I have had 2 and they both shot well.

Just pick up a Christensen arms classic and does it shoot well for a bigger cartridge,after I did the beak in process it's the best 300 win I ever shot.First is my tikka swede ,it is as nice as it get for a hunting rifle with excellent accuracy.

I’ve owned Tikka’s, Remington’s, Savage’s, Winchester’s, Ruger’s, and a lot of others that I likely have forgotten.
This I’ve come to realize.
They all can make a great firearm, they also can make some real dogs too.
It’s just like anything out there, price point alone doesn’t give you the fast track to a trouble free product.

Default Zastava

The Zastava Z98 and their model 70, were both very accurate out of the box.

I would say a weatherby vanguard s2 in 270 shot the best for me out of the box and factory ammo.It liked everything I rolled for it also.A browning x-bolt in 7mm RM also was a good shooter out of the box.Any of the new rifles(Rem,tikka ,browning) I or buddies have purchased shoot well with reloads,some are alittle more work finding the right load.

My Cadex rifle is the most accurate I own. Having said that even the rifles 1/4 price of that one have good accuracy for their intended purpose.

Of all the rifles I've had, the most accurate is also the first one I bought, that being a Remington 700P (Police) in .308 Win. It's easily a 1/2 MOA rifle, perhaps better in the hands of a better shooter.

Wink Accurate Rifles

Well for the price, Tikka T3 is great>>Coopers for the $$ are also one holer's if you do your part. It's usually the guy behind the trigger and the ammo selected for accuracy. Don't over look the 6.5 swde !! It knocks the lights out at any hunting distance !! JMO.. !! Had them >>Ben there. !! Shoot straight.
KCRK OUt fit !!

The most accurate rifles I have come by, used though with no modifications, not new out of the box, was a Ruger M77V in 220 Swift, with McCracken 52gr match and 3031 it shot .25 to .3 MOA. Best was a .21" at 100yds. Right behind it is my CZ700S 308, best at .32" at 100m with 155 Scenars.

I vote for the Daisy Eagle repeater bb gun. I could knock over a plastic T-rex from across the yard with that thing.

Not new but the most accurate have to be the used ones on here. I have not read about any that could not shoot under an inch group.

If I put the effort into a rifle that chucks lead all over the map,I flog it and move on....had a win 270 that was a POS....sold it to a fella that wanted a truck rifle...quad banger etc....told him it will hit the barn but miss the door completely.

The accuracy of factory barrels have come a long way.
I would suspect that in the next 10 years you will be able to buy a blister pack rifle/scope package with factory ammo loaded specific for the guns best accuracy so anyone would be capable of 1/4 MOA.

Best I had had have been my old Remington 700 AAC-SD, and my son’s Weatherby Vangaurd S2. The worst that I’ve had was my Tikka T3 at 1.5” at 100 yards.

My Kimber Hunter has been decent, just trying to finalize my handloads with it.
