[QUOTE="remingtonman_25_06, post: 104082, member: 1403"] All I have is sporters. They are all pretty accurate for factory rifles in my opinion. My 25-06 is a win model 70 classic sporter. Will shoot .4-.5" at 100 yards. Shoots 3.5"-4" at 500 yards. My newly aquired rem 700 bdl in 270 is showing me some promise. Shoots .5-.6" at 100 yards, 2" at 300 yards, 5" at 500 yards, and I was 4-4 on a 14" gong this evening with it laying prone w/bipod at 800 yards. My other sporter is a rem 700 lss in 300 RUM. It shoots very accurately. Shoots .5" at 100, 1" at 300, 3" at 500, and has given me some 1/2 moa or 4" groups at 800 yards. There is nothign done to these rifles except a trigger job and some reloads. I shoot my deer rifles out to 800 yards and my RUM out to 1150 yards. To me, for factory rifles, I'm stretching it, but thats all part of the fun. I use Leupold vx2, 6-18 target scopes, except for a MK4 that I have on my 300 RUM. I wouldn't hesitate to shoot any deer out to 600 yards, or an elk out to 800 yards with my factory sporters. Given good wind conditions and laying prone with bipod. [/QUOTE]
