[QUOTE="arch408, post: 2495401, member: 59036"] I can’t speak for Vudoo, Begera, CZ, Savage, etc. rifles. I do believe that you get what you pay for. Also, unless you buy a rifle with certified accuracy, it’s a crap shoot. So, my vote goes for Anschutz. I have a .17 HMR that came with a factory certified target that was shot at 100 meters. That rifle is almost as accurate as my custom .22LR bench rest rifle. My bench rest rifle is finicky with ammunition and cleaning. I’ve had groups deteriorate from 1/8 inch to almost 1/2 inch simply because I cleaned the rifle. So now, I won’t clean it until accuracy starts to deteriorate. Even then, I will simply swab the barrel and will fully clean if accuracy does not improve. Some times, it will take several shots before the rifle will “settle“ down and shoot to its potential with a particular ammunition lot number. I also only shoot one lot of ammunition for the matches. There can be accuracy differences between lot numbers. I envy the guy that had phenomenal accuracy with his Savage. I’d like to try one, but I hate their triggers. I have a Remington 504 that I am going to re-barrel with a Lilja barrel and hope that it will help perform like I want. [/QUOTE]
