[QUOTE="FAL Shot, post: 748021, member: 27328"] My brother-in-law has a M77MkII in .22-250 that groups 1/2" at 100 yards with several different handloads. He also has one in .30-06. Both of these rifles seem to be made to a higher standard than rifles being made right now. Due to the Obama scare, American gun manufacturers have learned they can sell just about anything. I have no intention of buying anything new until the scare dies out and manufacturers decide to bring back higher quality. I have had very bad experience with Winchester brass and ammo during the past couple of years. Guns made on the latest CNC machining centers like CZ and FN produced Winchester seem to be best holding onto quality. Essentially, any factory rifles depending on much human labor have taken a big hit in quality. Manufacturers depending mainly on government contracts are your best bet as their production demands haven't increased as much lately. CZ and FN are big on government contracts, with consumers being a sideline business. A huge spike in consumer demand is still small compared to total production capacity. I look at my new CZ rifles and compare them to older CZ rifles, and in some ways the newer rifles look better, as CZ upgraded their CNC machining centers recently and they are expecting massive government contracts on their new pistols and brand new service rifle.
