Today we’re gonna talk about accuracy. All hunters want their shots to land where they aim. For one, accuracy translates into reliability. Having an accurate rifle gives you the confidence to nail that shot and helps you focus on where to point. Another reason is ethics in the sense that you can achieve clean kills. You just need one shot to take down the game, which minimizes suffering.

The Winchester model 70 wasn't even brought up but the Rifleman's Rifle in my book is one of the best
Accuracy is what made it famous.
I wonder if the creators of this video have even hear of Jack O'Connor?
Best rifle for the money.
Best rifle period regardless of the price
@@homerjarvis8352 An amazing rifle for sure. But...I will put my Weatherby .300 mag up against anything. Note: I bought the 70 in .308 and was gifted the Weatherby by my father. Far too expensive for me.
The Finnish Sako rifles are extremely accurate
Finlanda rifles are hand-tooled, and probably the best in the world.
I have a black bear 06 and it's crazy accurate
I was very surprised they were not on the list...lol ...newbies will now buy a muzzleloader
Yes the most accurate rifle I ever use
Yeah for sure !
Didn’t see any sako, tikka, sauer, etc .. So ten most accurate,, hmmm, don’t know about that.
My tikka t3 shoots quarter size groups at 100 yards
Just proves that they're overrated
I think this dude may have an American bias
No Fierce,no Bergara, no Christensen,no Antlerarms also...Seriously .....
Only American Rifles, promoshion
4:58 "accuracy no one thought was possible for a bolt action?" Who TF writes this crap? The bolt action is the most accurate platform you can own....DUH....
Any list that favours Remington over Sako/ Tikka has to be flawed. My Sako rifles outperform my Remingtons in every aspect.
Then again SAKO and Tikka represents sort of different line of rifles too, they are made out of pure quality and in some parts with hands. The rifles in this list are mass manufactured, so at least i personally don't count them to be comparable, even though the price range in some cases are the same. Just goes to show one more superior aspect of SAKO and Tikka i guess =)
Edit: Also SAKO / Tikka tests every single rifle by hand before they leave the factory, they are made sure to be accurate as they claim to be.
I Have Found That The Sako 85 & The Browning Xbolt Are The Most Accurate Rifles Of All Time ( My Opinion)
X bolt hunter is what I have and my favorite. Very accurate with everything.
@troutslapper mine is from 2012 and has come on every hunt, take it outttt
The most accurate rifle I have ever shot is my 1940's Winchester Model 70 in 30 '06 with a 12X scope. Maybe I'm deluded, but I was pretty surprised to see it missing here. I understand that the best marine snipers in the Vietnam conflict used these older Winchester Model 70's with big Unertl scopes on them.
@IMPureRay - The Winchester M70 isn't called "the rifleman's rifle" for nothing. Back when it was rare for factory rifles to shoot sub-moa, the M70 was doing it routinely. There have been plenty of National Match championship shooters at Camp Perry who have used their '70s to win things like the 1,000 yard Wimbledon Cup. U.S. Marine Gunnery Sergeant Carlos Hathcock, then a Corporal, won that very match in 1965 using a M70. Later, in Vietnam, he and his fellow Marines used M70s in 30-06 in the field under the toughest conditions, and the rifles performed superbly considering that they were "civilian" weapons not designed for warfare. Finally, the list of distinguished big-game hunters down to your local white-tail deer fans, have used the Model 70 for years with such success that even more than eighty-five years after their introduction, for many hunters and riflemen they are still the standard against which other designs are measured.
Not a mention of Weatherby? I was both a small and big bore competitor in the Army. For a sporting arm Weatherby makes some of the most accurate and well-made rifles available and has for decades. Most models are guaranteed sub-MOA with factory ammo. That's saying a lot.
Very Disappointed that you left out the Winchester model 70 for old and new. My first one was Actually used in WW I I (was given to me), I traded it in for the Feather Weight XTR in 30-06.
Winchester also produced the model 1917 (30-06)...though after the war hunters would "sporterize" them (I still have one).
The M - 1 grande..another outstanding shooter which was and IS used for hunting.
I grew up on a 25000+ acre ranch that was surrounded by a 780,000 acre ranch. I had a Remington 722 (obviously .222) a 700 BDL (.270) and I have to agree both those rifles were amazing. That being said, I used the .222 90% of the time. The .222 was an amazing mule deer rifle. I know a lot of folks don’t think it’s of sufficient caliber size but I can say it never failed to drop a deer instantly at ranges up to 500 yards.
I also had my grandfathers Winchester Arm Model 30 Winchester 1895 30-40. I have to say, that is one great rifle also. It was my grandfathers only large caliber rifle, he had a Remington model 33 .22 single shot, a sears single barrel 12 gauge, and a Ruby Extra .22 revolver. That all he ever needed and he used all of them until his mid 80’s. He passed over in his 90’s.
There are just so many amazing guns used or new. I wish I had the time and money to find investment grade guns from the 1600’s up until today. I just love the feel of a well made and historical gun.
Remmington 700 is awesome. I bought one for our invasive hunting, which is jackal hunting (coyote cousin) and foxes and animals that size. It is extremely accurate, especially afternew adjustable trigger
drop a deer instantly at ranges up to 500 yards. Thats amazing seen many deer shot at closer range with 30-06, slugs, 450 bushmaster and they never go down instantly unless you spine them. Hearth or double lung shot they almost never go down instantly they run 25-75 yards then drop.
i have been shooting a Remington 700 in a 30 06 for over thirty years. my grandfather bought me one when i was 12 years old. i have bought several other nice guns but can't make myself hunt with anything but the Remington. i have taken truckloads of deer with it many out past 200 yds. as long as you clean it regularly, you cannot go wrong with it.
In the 2 weeks between high school graduation and the beginning of basic training I bought a practically brand new Remington 700 BDL .270 from a neighbor for $200. Years later I saw the exact same model and chambering in a store going for $777. I think I got a deal.
@@txgunguy2766 deal?????? you stole that gun🤣
Have never had a Remington bolt rifle of any model that didn't shoot good but I have had one or two that shit extremely well. Have had 788s in 223, 243, 30 30 and 308 and maybe others. Have had 600s in 222, 6mm, 308 and maybe others. Have had 700s in223, 243, 7 08, 30 06 and probably others . Have owned Winchester's, Savage, Ruger's, Browning's Marlins, Thompson Center and probably others. Have had bolt actions in all of them, lever actions in 4 of them and Semi action in two of them and Single shot in one. Liked some, didn't like some. One that stands out in memory was a Browning A Bolt Composite Stalker 30 06 I had in early 90s It was accurate and tough as a boot lots of pigs and deer fell to that one. It was probably more due to it fitting me then than anything else but it was a good one. You can and will find good ones in all of them but I always seem to come back to the old Remington 700. I'm not a paper puncher I'm a hunter and have been for over 50 years. 700s have served me well throughout most of those years.
@@jackyhallmark3094 i completely agree. i haven't owned as many guns as you, but have owned several pretty nice guns and still do, but I hunt with the Remington 700. I have confidence in it. I know when i squeeze the trigger, its gonna hit where im aiming.
@@bigdaddyleroy1915
He had no use for it and I seriously doubt he even had any ammo. I've actually shot it and taken it hunting after putting a scope on it. He was a knife collector and probably used the money to add to his HUUUGE collection.
Can’t believe the Winchester pre 64 wasn’t on here
I'm very partial to Remingtons
But you are absolutely 💯 correct
Yeah, my 1950 .270 will shoot 1/2" groups with hand loads
I was surprised too !!! Every one I see advertised is for a premium , people are prepared to pay 3x as much for one of them over a current model ...
@@paulreid2223 Not just only for the rifle
People who build their own custom rifles will pay big $$$$ for a pre 64 action alone
@@robertgehringer6162 Yes, they do ... I'm not prepared to mortgage my house just yet ...
At an owner of a CZ557 I can confirm it's a serious tack driver.
I know a lot of people add their firearms to this list but I don't own one of these anymore and I was surprised the Remington 788 didn't make the list.
Several misses here IMO. Carlos Hathcock, one of the deadliest Marine snipers during the Vietnam war, used a Winchester Model 70 chambered in 30.06. If it was accurate enough for 93 confirmed kills, then I think Winchester should have gotten some acknowledgement. Both Bergara and Tikka make extremely accurate rifles, with guaranteed sub MOA accuracy, and lastly there's the Ruger Mark 77. These four manufacturers have been producing dependable, highly accurate rifles, chambered in multiple calibers for several years now. They should have definitely been mentioned, as they are much more accessable than several of the rifles that made your list.
@kentmedlin4920 - Everyone wants the latest and greatest thing, the newest kid on the block gets all the attention, but sometimes the traditional choices are the best and for good reason. All of the designs you mention have been getting it done for many years, and well, too. Bergara has been well-known in the competition rifle field for some time now, but they are relatively new to the hunting arena, so they are not yet well-known for that. That ought to change since Ed Shilen the famous custom-barrel maker taught them how to make match-grade barrels. Tikka - which is a brandname of the famous Sako of Finland, make terrific products which both perform to a very high level and without breaking the budget of the typical sportsman, either. Ruger M77 Hawkeyes and the like are renowned for their quality, ruggedness and value.
Remington Arms should be on the list, too, but quality problems and their recent bankruptcy have cast doubt on that. Maybe they can return to the glory of their earlier years. Some of their older M700 bolt-actions are gems.
The Remington 788 in 6mm Remington is the most accurate hunting rifle I have ever seen. Remington discontinued them because they were so inexpensive and shot so well Remington didn't want the competition for their more profitable and stylish 700.
I have my dad’s .243 in the model 788, I’ve seen dad put a round on a deer(a head shot) at 356 steps. Dad was really good shot, I’m average shot, but with that rifle I have all the confidence in the world at taking a shot out to 300 yards. The crazy thing is dad sighted that rifle in 1964, and has never had to re-zero it.
@@mgaamerica9185 I used the Remington 788 to get my first antelope, my son used it to get his first whitetail, and my granddaughter used it this year for her first. It has changed scopes a couple of times but it is still accurate.
I owned a 788 years ago on 308 and loved it! Simply and accurate. They offered on on 3030 too. Hunting the swamps of SC in my older years, I'd LOVE to find a quality bolt gun in that vintage caliber. Dont hold her nose tol you've shot one! 50 to 75 yards in canopy woods is the norm her where I hunt.
788 s shoot period .308 .243 .223 I should have bought a 7 mm08 when I had a chance
I have a 788 in 223 and one in 308 both are extremely accurate but the 223 is the most accurate rifle I've ever shot.
The Winchester model 70 manufactured 1956 30-06 brings the deer to the table every year.
Yeah Winchester's all the way .Pre 64 model 70 for your big game and model 12 for your birds. That's all you need.
I run my model 70 in .270. She’s a tack driver.
Agreed...
My mod 70 30.06 with a leupold mount and B&L 2.5 x8. Haven’t shot it since 72.
Oh yes
The Sako Vixen in .222 REM should be in this list. Mine placed every shot into a half inch at 200 yards. My brother in-law bought his at the same time and it performed just as well.
@Alan J my first center fire was a .22 hornet, lovely little rifle but inaccurate lol
@Alan J All I did was float the barrel, the tightening sequence on the action is also important, front and back first then don't over tighten the middle screw. Mine loved Sierra 55gn BTHPs, Rem 6 and half primers and Winchester 748.
I've had 3 Sako L461 Vixens. Still have 2 of them, although only 1 has it's original Sako barrel, which is burnt out. The older action, bought in 1968, is on it's last rebarrel, #11 barrel. the action is just about totalled after about 250K shots, as a pro roo shooter's main rifle.
@@rogershapland5042 One could say that at least you have had bang for the buck =D (pun intended)
The Triple deuce is special
My dad got an all expense paid safari to the beautiful and exotic Korean peninsula in the early '50s. Based on his countless hunting stories, I'd say leaving the M1 Garand out of this list is quite an oversight. From what he told me, it was so accurate, it was almost like your life depended on it.
Glad he made it home safe from the Safari. Pass on my thanks, and a snappy salute.
My friend Rabbi Goldstein got sent to Korea for his senior trip. One Thanksgiving (1949), he was 17 and eating his mother’s apple pie. Next Thanksgiving, he was 18 and eating a frozen apple pie in beautiful Korean.
He got his nickname “cordwood” because he stack up so many bodies on a hillside one night.
The hunting of four-legged animals, not the two-legged kind! I see your dad's point, though: An uncle on my wife's side had a similar "all-expenses paid" trip to the Korean peninsula 1950-1951, and his Garand saved his bacon on more than one occasion. He told me so, face to face. What was your dad - Army or Marines?
Not sure it is a hunting rifle but my Garand is as accurate as any of my hunting rifles.
@@manfrommeeteetse3880 - I heard that! Garands are capable of fine accuracy if you have one with a good barrel, sights and trigger, and have a good load for it.
I was given a sporterized 1909 Argentine Mauser, by an old family friend just before he passed away. He had it built by a master gunsmith, and it was his favorite hunting rifle, especially on his many trips to Africa in the seventies and eighties…
As a hunter employed by the FS and later DOC in NZ I used a Sako Vixen .222, then later a Sako in 243 calibre. It was the rifle of choice for most professional hunters in New Zealand.
..and the BSA's , Parker-Hales and if you had the-money , a Husqvarna-7000 in .270
Winchester model 70👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Word on that one. Had my hands on 10 or more in diffrent calibers. None of them shoot over 10mm groups at 100m. and they aren´t that picky with diffrent bullets and so on ;P
I’ve got two pre-64 70’s that I might be buried with
My father gave me a model 70 270 Winchester with a Belgian made bolt love it have had it for 45 years now
Fpff no idea fool0
I’m no expert but I’ve gone through many brands and even a few customs in the past looking for the most accurate 22-250 for varmint hunting. Hands down I found Cooper to be the most accurate rifle at least for me. Once I worked up the right load it would consistently shoot very tight often 1 hole groups at 100 yards.
Jeff Cooper built up 2 Scout rifles for me. Both are very accurate,
Very informative. Thanks!
Best two rifles out of many I’ve owned: 70 Winchester, 243, 3 round group hand loads at 100 yds bench rest, .500”. 721 Remington, 300 Winchester mag, as above, .600 “. The Winchester was out of the box, Remington barrel was replaced with a Hart, original was chambered for 300 H&H.
I have to admit adding the 722 Remington was no surprise me.
I have a 722 in .300 Savage and it is as accurate as any fire I have ever seen.
With the introduction of the TSX and TTSX Barnes 135gr to 165gr bullets the accuracy got even better than the older Partition 150-170gr bullets.
I can expect to see 5/8” groups from a vice at 100 yards.
I know that some rifles will shoot tighter but this rifle was built in 1949.
I’ve brought home my trophies with her but she is truly a woods rifle. I’ve been shooting her since I was 12 years old and she is still my go to rifle for medium game up to Whitetail but I bet she would do fine on big game out to 200 yards if put to use as many did in Alaska and other areas.
The .300 savage was a great design but just needed a longer neck and the cartridge would have been perfect.
Many of us OLD TIMEER’s. Still load and hunt the .300 Savage as a primary cartridge.
Still have my 722 in 308 bought around 1960. Still my go to rifle for whitetails with Lyman 48 peepsight. Real woods rifle
Pre 64 Model 70 30.06. My grandfather's, my father's, now mine. These are heirlooms for a reason.
I always loved my model 700 Remington 7MM magnum. It will do anything I need..
..mine is just a awesome piece..
A good friend of mine was a championship shooter. Who once came close to making an Olympic shooting team. He taught me any good quality gun will be more accurate than the person shooting it. And a lot of that accuracy depends on a light and crisp trigger. That and practice.
Remington 788 - budget accuracy debuting in 1960s.
Weatherby MkV - AFAIK, first factory rifle with a sub MOA guarantee. Also exceedingly strong.
Have a 788 in .308 Win. Absolutely dead on accurate shot after shot.
IMHO the Rem "788" is the king... I had a 6mm Rem. growing up and out shot everyone.
I now have a .308 with the short barrel and put in a Timney trigger.
40 X Japan 'Hoya' glass.
I have full F-Class stuff, but my 788 is the one rifle if I could only have one rifle, amen.
I never met a shooter who had a 788 and did not say it was one of his best shooters.
788 Amen.
Awesome video. Thanks!
One gun that i think should have made the list was the 788 Remington. When you reload, most any gun will shoot sub moa and if your smart enough to adjust a trigger or glass bed a stock you can gain even more accuracy. If you can't get a gun to shoot moa or better, junk it! You shouldn't have to spend a fortune to get a gun that shoots accurately!
Sorry-I made almost same reply before I scrolled down and saw yours.. My 788 in .223 with no improvements was a coyote killer!
Agree, the 788 was ridiculously accurate. Supposedly because the rear locking arrangement meant more metal in the barrel/receiver join area. Beats the 700.
I was always told that the 9 locking lugs were the reason for their extreme accuracy. Why Remington never pursued this lock up system baffles me! More than likely because the 700 was the money maker at the time.
@@garymagliocca2913 I think you're right. The 788 was putting a real dent in 700 sales.
Agree 100%. I have one in .308 that I've owned nearly 40 years and it's never let me down. Smooth and super accurate. Wouldn't trade it for anything on that list.
My mate had an el cheapo .22 that he paid $40 for, he shot the detonator out of an empty .303 case, not once, but 3 times at 50 meters, and open sights. Now that is accuracy and some fine skills by my mate
"...the detonator..." OK.
The Remington 788 should have been on the list....... The "cheap gun" that outshoots the more expensive models............
In 222caliber?
@@richardlusk1715 Can't help you on that. I only have experience with my .308 version I bought in the 70's
I agree. I have one in 6mm Rem and it will stack bullets.
I have one in 22-250. It is a tack driver!
Guns with big names and big prices HATE Rem.788's and Savage110's!!!
Most rifles can be extremely accurate if you spend the time learning how to handload and tailor the load to what the gun likes. Powder, projectile and seating depth makes a huge difference.
I agree with this video all of these rifles are amazing in there history. I happen to use a Savage model 110 for hunting and I love it. Great video man
If you have the time and work out a handload you may get 1/2" at 100yds. (also zero headspace it....50.00 if you find a honest gunsmith...takes them 15 minutes)
I’ve had lots of accurate rifles but my favorites are my Ruger M77’s
I really like my M77.
I had a Weatherby vanguard and Ruger 77 both in .243 that was tack drivers.
I like several of these Rifles that was mentioned. I have a Remington 700 BDL 243 and this Bolt Rifle with a Floated Barrell shoots darn good my Dad gave me this Rifle in 1972 and I have dropped several Deer and Hogs with it. I also have an Over and Under 20ga. 22 Hornet now this Bullet shoots amazing Flat also. Enjoyed it
jarretts are the best imo
Tikka rifles deserve a place on this list. Super smooth action and very accurate.
Agreed, accuracy has more to do with the shooter than the rifle. That said, I'll extremely happy with the performance and accuracy I've achieved with my Tikka3 30-06 (Fluted Barrel).
Tikka makes some great rifles!!!!!
And next to the 45/70 the 30 06 is probably the oldest continuously used hunting rifle cartridge in the world , hell the 50 BMG got its design from the 30 06 they just scaled up the 30 06
@@johnalarcon5006 Add to your list the good Ol’ Brush buster 30.30 lever action . The ol’ Thuddy Thuddy has been around longer than the .06 by about 50 years give or take I believe . But all very very good meat rounds no matter what .👍🏻

Sako 85 varmint stainless steel laminated stock 6ppc and 22 ppc world's most accurate production rifle. Great video very informative learned a few things for sure!
Some pretty cool rifles there, for sure. The Steyr-Mannlicher Model M professional was a real tack driver out of the box. sub half inch at 100 yards from jump street.
There were a lot of good gun makers in 18th century. Some carried out the tradition till the cartridge made it obsolete. Today we are fortunate to have a few black powder recreation experts. Those guns are fast and accurate. Thanks for the video. Glad you had a long gun in the mix
Older savage 110 were the best kept secret out there. (even some new ones) I worked in the industry. Had 1000 gunsmiths in my database and they all agreed. Even the Stevens 200 was just as good with a little trigger work. (They were the bottom line savage 110).
I have one right now that I just removed a 270 barrel and put on a new pull off 22-250 factory barrel. Paid 90.00 for the barrel and zero headspaced it....takes 30 minutes to do. (someone pulled the 22-250 barrel from their new savage action and put a shilen on it without realising it was a gem) It shoots 1/2" at 100yds with a handload. (34.5 imr 4064.... 3500 fps... Cheapest bullet out there...55 gr speer varmiter bullet (13.00/100 at midway USA)...the secret is a short bullet to stabilize in this barrel and not over loading it)
@cugir321 - Savage is famous among people in the FA industry for making firearms which out-perform competitors costing thousands of dollars more. I don't care for their new "Accu-Stock" line, but the older M110s with walnut stocks are beautifully made and don't break the bank, either. The M110 now holds the distinction of being the American bolt-action hunting rifle to be in production on a continuous basis longer than any other. If you talk to people who own multiple rifles, they'll often tell you that one of their Savage rifles is among the most-accurate.
Went through basic training at Ft Ord with the M-14. Even with the used and abused weapons we were assigned. I was able to constantly hit targets at 350 yds with open sites. Even his a few at 500 yards.I’m sure I wasn’t alone.
I did the same with the M16A2 at the training distances in boot camp in the Marine Corps. I still hit 12" plates with my DPMS Panther Arms chambered in 7.62x51 and My Colt AR15 chambered in 5.56x45 at 300 yards. I'm a solid fan of those modular rifles. Simple the use and even simpler to disassemble and clean. I don't use meters anymore just yards.
Did similar forty years ago I was surprised how easy it was to do. Where I hunted you never needed more than a shotgun because of the density of the trees.
Ft. Ord.....gone but certainly not forgotten. I agree, the M-14 will always be my rifle of choice.....not that I hit the 350 ever time....250yds and under seemed to be pretty much point blank range though. Glad we both made it through. -Veteran '66-68
Scroll up and read my post above, it is the ultimate Brand New version, for I too went through Basic with an M-14, shot Expert and loved even that wobbly old Army rifle. The new one I describe cost more than $ 4000.00 new. It is a weapon for a man, no LGBTQ's could hit anything with it.

Win 52 - I started shooting at 17 - at a commercial shooting range. I spent 5 yrs shooting there . At the time - I was shooting the NRA - Winchester Grand Champion course of fire. Both Rifle - and pistol. Within a months - The Range Officer let me shoot - some of his person rifles. I began shooting a rifle target - that had a white center pin. If I just nicked the white - in the first shot - the second would put 2 bullets in one raggy hole.
So in pistol - I shot a Volstok - 22 target pistol. i liked it - nice grips - i was a left handed shooter, so neutral grips helped. My first real target pistol was a mint SXW M41. Gosh it worked nice. I raised my score from low 80's to high 80's - just by a pistol switch. i kept shooting that for 6 months. I had 18 months - on lower quality guns. So my RO - owner of the range - gave me a Colt Match Target. From back in the 60's.
I increased my score 10 points - and scored - a 95 slow fire. I kept that up - for 2 weekends.
I then repeated - that string with a Mk1 Ruger Bull barrel - I could make junk - shoot like a champ . Cheers - practise! even with a CO2 pistol. Shoot.
I have a Hopkins & Allen "Goose Neck" muzzle loader percussion rifle in .45 caliber. Heavy octagon 32 inch barrel with peep site, horn site, and slotted hooded site for drop in Lyman sites at the front . The hammer & percussion cap nipple are on the bottom and the trigger guard is the spring. The trigger is maybe a half pound pull or less, I've never had it tested. But I have to say I have impressed myself as well as others with the accuracy of this rifle.
As a Remington 700 fan I have had at least 30 rifles in different calibers over 50 years. I was surprised u didn't include the rem. 788 in this list for anyone who owns one will agree that for $100 ish these rifles shoot nickels at 100 yds. I agree for the money the 110 Savage platform is fantastic for the price. I purchased the Axis in 22.250 for $100 + and it was so accurate I installed a Timini trigger and a 5x25 Swarovski scope on it for long range coyote hunting. QUALITY not money wins every time.
If it's a decent gun most will shoot well with a great handload. People expect factory ammo to shoot well in an expensive gun....rarely happens.
Love my 788 in .222. Parents paid $67 new in 1966 for my first rifle. Lots of woodchucks met their demise
My cz527 carbine 223 shoots into the same hole .the pre 64 model 70s and 700 remingtons are very accurate as well
Early 80's had a Remington 700 in:308 . Bedded, floated heavy Maddco barrel , straight 6× Weaver scope on Tasco bridge mount. After shooting a mates 404 Jeffries at 2 inch paint dots on a tin drip tray at 113 paces I had 3 shots at the resulting holes. Inspection looked like a clean miss until a small mark was noticed on the inside of the hole. 2 shots into the 5/8th inch hole and one close nick ! I adjusted to 2 inches high at that range and over a decent rest popped pigs out to 300/350 with ease. Enough for me !😎👍
Running a tikka t3 lite in 243 win. More accurate than me since I'm a beginner, but I love how light and easy it is to shoot
Think your shots through. Squeeze the trigger. Don't just aim for the bullseye. Aim for the middle of the bullseye. Make sure the gun is sighted in perfectly. Breathe slowly. Think the shot through the middle of the bullseye. Finally, practice as much as you can afford to practice. Even if you break it up to 10 shots per session. Make each shot count.
Don't feel bad. Tikkas are capable far beyond most shooter's abilities. Keep practicing and working to make yourself the most stable weapons platform possible and you'll slowly approach that sub MOA guaranteed by the manufacturer.
I reloaded for a friend- 3/8 inch groups with minimal development ...
Lithgow LA102 is the Aussie all round bolt action rifle, accurate and good value in Australia.
We'd consistently place rounds at 550 yards in a 20" circle w open sights ... w the M14 (.308 win, 7.62 NATO). Reverse extrapolating, that would be a 4" circle at 100 yds. Probably tighter if using a scope.

I have CZ 455 LUX in 17HMR, CZ 457 LUX in 22LR, CZ 457 American combo (17HMR & 22LR barrel swap), CZ 527 in 223. Absolutely love the CZ rifles. I am looking for a CZ 550 chambered in 223 as well. Just to show I am not prejudiced; I also have a Savage Heavy barrel with an Accu-Trigger. The iron sights on the "LUX" models are very accurate.
I have a Winchester model 70 in 270 . I have had it for around 40 years. It still shoots the same whole at 100 yards. And it's accurate out to 460 yards 1 shot kill. The gun is a little on the heavy side.
I've always loved Remingtons : 11 years ago, I bought a 700 LTR in .308 and used it for long range target shooting (it did very well) . I've since moved on to a 700 SPS for my long range shooting and set my LTR up for game hunting ; I can group 3 shots in 3/8 inch at 100 yards with a 6x Leupold - I don't use it enough ...
I love the 700, but I may be a bit biased. It was my service rifle for over 20 years in its M-24 variant.
@@SniperHarry 🙂👍
I have a 700 sps in 223 that shoots about half inch groups at 100 yards with high end ammo. Love it but when it came time to getting a 308 hunting rifle I went with the tikka lite veil. I would recommend checking them out when it comes time to get another rifle. As much as I love the 700 sps the veil is better in every way.
@@brett9382 Tikka makes beautiful accurate rifles - unfortunately I don't have enough room to house one (yet) ...
I think he's talking about American made rifles
You forgot one of the best! It was the pre64 Winchester model 70, Mine has shot 3/4 inch groups at 200 yards. It is in 30-06 and has killed it's share big game and 150gr is more than enough for Big Elk.
My favorite rifle, pre 64 model 70 in .270 and my buddy had a .22 - 250 pre 64 model 70, that we shot ground squirrels with, a 55 grain sierra boat tail hollow point, we fought more over the spotting scope since hitting them long rangers was so easy with that rifle. We hunted a friends ranch in outside Paso Robles that had virtually thousands of squirrels every spring. Man i miss those days.
I came here to say the same thing…mines in 30-06…I’ve shot sub one inch groups out to 200 as well…it’s a TACK DRIVER
Still have my Rem. 722 in the 222. Got it from my grandpa back in late 70s and love that gun.
We shot the Model 52 in highschool ROTC. We were cutting the strings holding the targets. Nice!
Sako Forester deluxe in .243...best tack driver I've ever owned.
There is history lesson going on or what? Sako 85 black bear or Tikka t3x tac A1. You don't want anything else after shooting whit these.
I had the good fortune to own a Winchester model 52 (for a while) and it was indeed accurate. On a good day, with CCI green tag match ammunition,
one inch ten shot groups at 100 yards were routine. It was manufactured in 1919 (serial no. 21) so not bad for a century old gun.
Actually my friend joe has one and he got it from one of his wealthy clients that sold him some extremely expensive rifles for next to nothing and that model 52 was among the whole lot Weatherby, H&H , PURDY and some other Italian stuff were just some of what i remember . He totally lucked out !!!!!
I have a Winchester Model 52C and mounted upon it is a 15 power Unertl scope.
Using RWS black and gold box match ammunition and a bench rest I can put all the bullets into exactly one hole at 25 yards. I tried to light stick matches with it but just succeeded in neatly removing the white tips on the matches. Next time I'll need to aim a bit higher.
I have had my circa 1950 Winchester Model 52B Olympic small-bore .22 since 1992. Winchester developed the Model 52 into a very accurate rifle even as far back as 1929. The gun store said the rear sights were not working properly, that they were :stripped", but all I needed to do was to cycle the rear "Olympic" peep sight up and down through it's entire range of motion several times to get the threads on track again and that made them right. Mine weighs 14.5 lbs. and is in an Olympic Competition configuration with a broad flat bottomed stock with an aluminum strap rail and an adjustable for height and length of pull cheek piece. Back in 1992/93 season in my first year of competition shooting I came in 1st. Place for non ranked shooters in NYS in an Official NRA Statewide Competition. I received a Medal stating as much (which I still have). - Peter age 72
Remington 700 sendero 25,06 is one heck of a shooter. Back in 1995 they were $500 new.
I bought a Finish Sako FinnBear delux hand checkered stock, a beautifjl rifle , 7mm magnum . I bought this after being discharged from military coming from Viet Nam. I love it!
I am surprised that no Mauser rifles were on this list. I have a highland stalker in 7 by 57 that is highly accurate with a reliable ejection of the spent cartridge.
😅😅 so do I
I have a mauseer ,shoots 7.62 x 54r, took rifle apart and took it to a gun builder. Please build something around thses parts. It's abeauty.
Mannlicher Schoenauers were exceptionally fine and accurate as well.
Agreed. Inherited my dad's Mauser in a .264 win mag. Talk about deadly and flat, far better than the 6.5 creed, but will wear your shoulder out!
Appreciate the video, it’s always nice seeing videos like this especially with a wide array of guns. However, you obviously have never handled or shot a Sako rifle! Especially the older ones but even some of the newer ones, there’s nothing like them, and I believe them to be the most accurate rifles ever made. You can have a shooter with very little experience and not a very good shooter shoot a Sako rifle and they are transformed into very good shooters. My dad‘s old Forrester 243, will outshoot anything out there!
Tikka rifles are made in the same factory as the Sako and are just as accurate, the Sako is a lot dearer and looks a lot better, but the accuracy is the same. Remington's are not in the same league.
@@johnbodman4504 Tika‘s are very nice, but actually they have their own factory. Sako, kept their own original factory so the guns use the same barrels but other than that they are different. At least from what I have read and what I have researched in the past. Nothing against Tigres as they are very nice and they are beautiful guns as well. But the action is not even close to a Sako rifle
@@wesleyhobbs9 I had not realized that they used different factories, but I knew the actions are different. My gunsmith says the Tikka action is better.
My uncle got a Sako at a pawn shop in Germany for 50$ back in the 50s . It was chambered in 30-06 because they thought GIs would buy them up but he had a whole case and my Uncle only bought 1. He's been offered alot of money and other guns but refuses every time.
@@mikemccormick4211 That’s an awesome story man :-) what a steal at that price point!!! The older ones I believe all the best, but even the newer ones are really good. I’ve never felt better action or shot a better rifle in my life, than a Sako!!!
Great video 👍
I felt accomplished with my M-14! Don’t know about all the fancy talk but it was fun to shoot. Unfortunately on qualifying days we were shooting in the rain. Missed being company high firer by two hits. My eye glasses gave me fits!
Just because you have an accurate rifle as you should does not mean you cannot also be an ethical hunter and do your job as a hunter
All Weatherby® Mark V® rifles with a serial number prefix of “WY, PM and PS” and Vanguard® Series 2 rifles with a serial number prefix of “VB” are guaranteed to shoot a .99″ or better 3-shot group at 100 yards from a cold barrel when used with premium (non-Weatherby calibers) or Weatherby factory ammunition.
I had the Remington model 700 bull barrel in 22-250 caliber, 3 shots at 300 yds. 2 in same hole, 3rd just missed being dead center!
From the European POV, I would add the Steyr Mannlicher Luxus in either 243 Winchester or 6.5 x 55 Swedish. With its full stock and floating action and a hammer forged rifled barrel, of my various rifles, these were by far the most accurate. Also had a beautifully smooth and crisp single set trigger.
Steyr Mannlicher double spoonbill with Mannlicher full stock. Most beautiful rifle ever made.
Steyr and also Sauer 80/90 definitely have to be on the list. Not only bc of look but also bc of precision...
My REM 788 in .308 is my best shooting rifle I own or owned. My opinion, this gun shoots well for me, maybe not so good for others
No not just yours the 788 was very accurate. I have a 308 and a 223 both are extremely accurate
Very happy to hear the mention of the Remington 721. Mine was made in 1948 in 30-06 passed down through my family and still a fantastic shooter.
Mine was made in 1950. Also 30-06. Great rifle.
Had the same rifle very accurate and harvested moose deer and bear while I had it. Sold it to a friend and bought a tikka
Have two Beretta Mato Rifles, one in .270 Win and .280 Rem! Was discontinued when Beretta bought Sako/Tikka. Dakota 96 action, HS Kevlar Stock, HS detectable magazines and a Walther barrel.
BEST production rifle out of the box is the Remington model 700
Why do you say that?
I had a 700 in .270 c.1974. I liked its versatility. With handloads the bullet sized from 68 grain to 150 and 180. Open v sights I could hit a gopher in open fields at 250 yards with the smaller and dropped an elk at 200 with the 150 g. Finest rifle I've owned.
@@mikedickison5003 I rest my case !! 😁😁😁😁
@@mikedickison5003 I've always been partial to Reminton rifles
Although I have a Winchester model 70 classic sporter...the action is much smoother than a 700 but the gun shoots like a house on fire
Maybe once way back in the ‘50’s they could get pretty close to a Model 70. Maybe. But anything after that from Remington 🤣
What was the testing protocol that was used to determine these 10 rifles were the most accurate?
It was uh....like...his opinions, man.
Exactly. I would venture to guess that a modern Howa, or even one of my accurized Mausers would out shoot that #10 muzzeloader. Accuracy is relatively easy to achieve with modern technology. Top whatever lists seem to always be immersed in subjectivity.
He randomly picked from a firearms list...
I build rifles. I make them accurate then fire rounds through it to find which round's harmonics work well with what I built. My rifles have hit fly's at 100 yards consistently, or the wire suspending a bowing pin at 100 yards.
Had an old Browning BBR in 7 Mag; Belgian made and shockingly good for an old, nicely cared for rifle.
8 x 60 S Mauser is my best rifle. Shot Buffalo and Plaingame plus Leopard over many yrars. A great rifle I inherited from my father.
For everyone complaining about the rifles that aren't listed: did you really expect this TH-camr to have a clue? This is one of, if not the most uninformed channels on the subject.
well of course it is as he just reads other people's web content and calls it his own
It's a crock of something.
that includes me…didn’t see Weatherby here…i’d put my 1970 Mark V in 7mm up against any one of these any day…it’s also got the old but excellent Redfield wide view accutrac 3x9 scope….both built in the United States Of America…when America Was Great
How does the Winchester modle 70 not make this list
Wow as a teenager I used a savage 110 270 and my cousin who I hunted with had a 7mm Remington sendero I see now why we rarely missed lol. Good video
I looked up Sharps. Christian Sharps came out with this excellent rifle in September 1848. They were used in the Civil war by the North.
I'll put my Sako quarter bore, with hand loaded ammo, up against any rifle in a similar class.
the SAKO will beat any rifle made
Love my Remington 700 BDL 300 win mag, almost as much as my Winchester 30/30 pre 64 😳
It is a very good rifle 700 300 win. mag.
You missed two, the Whitworth with the hexagon bullets which in the 1860s fire groups at 1500 yards that are hard to duplicate today with any but the finest rifles. And the Ruger Model 77, in 1979 I bought one in 7 millimeter mag and my very first group of 20 rounds went into a group that had a center-to-center spread of .049 in. The largest point from edge to edge of that 20 round hole was .33 in.
I have also heard from some Lakota friends that George Armstrong Custer was shot with a Sharp's rifle
I made a .280 Rem. Mauser 98 action, Timley target trigger and a 26 inch Douglas Premium barrel. I reload myself and worked up a load it loves. It's MOA at 200 yards.
Good Evening, I was three tours in the Vietnam, Republic of - during the '70's. During that time I was a Sniper using the : M-14 1st, the 70 Model Remington 2nd, and at the 2nd tour -Requested My Brothers to send My Personal Rifle - a customized .280 Remington -Ranged in at 500 yards.
However, with a Lil Work, I was able to stretch that out to 1500 yards to accomplish My Sniping Tasks...it worked very well..
I had pumped up the speed (with a charge of almost 60 grains of My own powder), to about 3400 feet-per -Second ...!!
(The only trouble was that I frequently split the brass cases open when firing)...but it was "Deadly" accurate...I was dubbed with a large bounty on My head by the North Vietnam 🇻🇳 Military.

Bullets touching at 200 yards. Dang thing will shoot.
I once fired a limited edition Belgian Browning 22. There were only 1000 of these rifles made. I shot a clothes line in half at 75 yards with a notch sight. Tried to buy it, but my friend wouldn't sell. Can't say I blame him one bit.
Yes thats all i use
Let's not forget the Springfield 1903 30,06 150 grain round.
I've got a .338 Edge made by Defensive Edge that will drop a bullet in the same hole consistently at 100 yards and is very predictable out to 1,000 yards. I have a Sendero in 7mm Rem Magnum that is a really nice shooter. I have a .308 and .223 Remington TAC, also nice rifles. Not as accurate as the custom but more than close enough.
