Yes - interesting read. I would add my Browning A3 with 26" bl. in .300 Win Mag to that list. As stock, no bedding, just shooting, with factory Winchester 180gr. Bonded and Remington 180gr. Coreloct factory, it clover leafed - almost every time. The odd time, 2 in one hole with a bit of paper between that hole and the double-hole. Not joking - it was extremely accurate. I didn't even measure the groups, clover leafs. Under 1/2", even on the groups that had one out of the hole.
Mind you, they were only 3-shot groups - quick heating was the reason.
Only took 2 shots to get onto the 1000 meter buffalo. The first was my fault, holding for the book's 1000yard MOA suggestion and not deciphering for 1000 meters. Added 1 1/2 MOA- pow---clang.
The Anschutz .17HMR was a welcome surprise. I thought only my cobbled together Martini HMR was that accurate.
I have had several factory..nothing special as to looks or cost guns that are incredibly accurate.. One is a CZ in .204 cal... shoots better than guns 2 to 3 times more expensive...
Have another Remington 700 in .270.. shoots tiny little groups, all touching with factory ammo...another Remington I have in .338RUM.. factory ammo..a one holer, again with factory ammo...
Have a HS Precision in 300RUM that shoots really well --1/4" groups if I do my part..
Custom in 28 Nosler with a Proof barrel, Defiance action, timney trigger, carbon fiber stock.. but that is all custom so really doesnt count for this article..
