[QUOTE="Turpentine21, post: 2964036, member: 124909"] I guess it's amazing I was shooting half MOA groups and less with bone stock 700s and Model 70s with hand loads and sub MOA groups with 2 Ruger M77s with corelokts 40 years ago and it wasn't difficult to find a rifle to do that. My Remington pump Model 6 270 shot quite well also but had a terrible trigger. I still have it that rifle. Rifle technology is better as a whole and accuracy may be easier to achieve with them today. The tools can certainly make for tighter tolerances. But with a lot of the rack grade rifles today with the Tupperware stocks the shootability and ergonomics is such that it would be a remarkable feat to shoot a half inch group with it. Not all are this way but there are some. Upgrade the stock that chance gets much better. If I had to buy a new non custom rifle today it would probably be a Tikka. I'll still take an old 700 or Model 70 and build on it if need be or buy an action and build my own given a choice. To each his own. [/QUOTE]
