[QUOTE="ShootnMathews, post: 1157336, member: 59915"] Getting a factory rifle to shoot factory ammo at 1/2 MOA is not impossible but very unlikely. Most of my factory guns shoot 1.5" - 2.5" groups with factory ammo. I do have a 223 that shoots 1/2 MOA with factory ammo and the same ammo shoots 1/2 MOA in another friends 223. As a general rule you're going to have to reload to get sub MOA performance out of a factory rifle. It's really more simple than it seems. Use quality components and you won't be disappointed. I have a Savage LRH in 6.5-284 and am very pleased with it. It's a great shooting gun. It's the most accurate factory rifle I own. It was a little tough to get the right load worked up but now it shoots at custom rifle accuracy. Easily 1/2 MOA and I've shot several sub 1/4 MOA groups with it. I've shot a couple groups with it at 100 yards that look like just one 30 cal bullet hole. I am actually thinking if getting another LRH in 300 WM and shoot it for a while till the barrel is getting worn and then putting a custom match grade barrel of some sort on it. Good luck [/QUOTE]
