[QUOTE="Justin Todd, post: 1534810, member: 108331"] For what it's worth I have a few rifles and didn't start getting good accuracy until I learned to hand load my ammo and find a good bullet, brass prep and brass and powder combo. For instance I have a 7mm rem mag that wouldn't shoot better than 2 inch moa at 100 yards rifle killed a lot of deer with that under 100 yards but when I stopped hunting and could only target shoot I wanted better accuracy it's an old Savage 110 action so I bought a boyds stock and a criterion barrel and paid a good gunsmith to glass bed it and set the head space. The rifle still only shot 1.5 moa at 100 yards. After I learned to reload and started figuring out what the rifle liked I can now shoot one hole groups probably .25 moa at 100 yards and 1.5 at 400 yards with that rifle. I also shrank my groups with my rem 700 adl .308 cheap synthetic stock rifle shot 1.5 moa with box ammo and now shoots almost as good as my 7mm only thing I changed was the scope on that rifle. It shoots .5 moa at 100 and will hold 2.5 inch groups out to 400 yards. So yes a stiffer stock, glass bedding, a decent scope all make a difference but the biggest for me has been reloading to match what the rifle likes instead of being limited to factory box ammo.
