[QUOTE="Bishop, post: 965370, member: 26163"] Looking for accuracy from factory rifles can be frustrating, sometimes you get lucky, sometimes you throw money at a rifle doing everything you can trying to avoid sending it off to a proper smith for a proper accurizing, and get nothing in gains. My advice if you really want an accurate rifle...have the action trued, a premium barrel put on it, properly bedded, and have the scope properly mounted in good quality rings. I wasted thousands of dollars buying factory rifles looking for an accurate one, i wish i hadnt wasted that money. I should have gone custom from the beginning, if i had done that i would have 4 full blown tack driving rifles by now instead of 2. Now i have 2 sub 1/2 moa rifles that are rock solid accurate all the time, the only variable is me. And i have a pile of wasted money sitting in multiple factory remingtons/savages/weatherbys/a browning/ and a winchester that shoot 1 moa or worse that i should have spent on multiple custom rifles and high quality scopes instead. If minute of pie plate or 1 moa plus groups are not good enough for you then stop shooting yourself in the foot and just have a reputable smith build you a good rifle with a good stock, trigger, scope. You will be much happier when you actually have a good rifle. Ammo is important as well, at the least try some match grade ammo. At best is to load your own. Thats my advice from a "been there done that" standpoint. No personal experience with HCR but have read good things about them. [/QUOTE]
