[QUOTE="Rustystud, post: 204691, member: 9964"] [b]Degree of accuracy of a rifle..[/b] A "good" factory rifle, with "good" ammunition, and "good" scope, rings and bases, with a "good" rest and finally and most importantly a "good" shooter should be able to get 1. moa accuracy from a factory rifle. Trouble is today we are short of the "goods". Quality has gone south when price has gone north. Good shooters are far fewer than a few years ago. I build custom rifles and last night I tore down a Remington 700 5R milspec from the custom shop. The owner had fired approximately 400 rounds through this rifle. The best group he had acheived was 1.5 moa at 100 yards. I found the upper lug was not engaging by over .020. At the owners request I am truing the action and rebarreling with a 26" Broughton 5C 1:10 barrel. When this project is finished I hope to have a sub .5 moa rifle. Weather my customer can shoot is another story. That is why I will do some load development and shot his rifle before he picks it up. Rustystud A/k/a Nat Lambeth, Custom Guns and Ammunition. [/QUOTE]
