[QUOTE="Joaquin B, post: 508619, member: 20152"] My most precise rifles are a Tikka M595 in .260 Remington hunting rifle, a Winchester M70 long range rifle in .30-06 and a Remington M700 silhouette rifle in. 260 Remington. I also own a SAKO AII in .243 winchester that is outstanding, without any modifications, other than a trigger job. The most precise rifle I have ever owned was a much-maligned and poo-pooed post-'64 Winchester M70 varmint rifle in .243. made in the early 1970's. This rifle, without any modifications whatsoever, had the ability to consistently produce dime-sized groups at 200 meters with Hornady 75 gr. HP bullets. Precision is the result of various components coming together: a) A rifle action with precise dimensions and a tuned trigger. b) A good quality rifle barrel c) A good quality scope mounted in solid bases/rings d) Good quality, dimensionally correct brass e) Carefully tailored loads or good quality match-grade ammo. In my humble opinion, any rifle action from a reputable manufacturer that has been trued-up and mated with a good quality barrel and trigger will do the job for long-range shooting. Specific action types are a mostly matter of personal preference. Do your homework and you will be rewarded. [/QUOTE]
