[QUOTE="Mark Hilburger, post: 1676877, member: 110696"] I think you can get the accuracy you looking for in a factory rifle these days. Save the money on the rifle and put it into a better scope than you might be planning. I have two Ruger Americans 308 and 6.5 in Magpul Stocks and they shoot 0.5 MOA. My 6.5 will bang steel at 950 yards with the best of them. Both have scopes that cost more than the rifle. I don't know anyone who has missed a deer because they didn't have a custom rifle. I do know people who would have gotten a deer, if they had a better scope on. Savage, Kimber, and Ruger factor rifles should all be able to meet your goal. I would stay away from a rifle straight from Remington because of recent quality problems. If your hunting in rough country a three position safety is also important. [/QUOTE]
