[QUOTE="shortpants, post: 748266, member: 30564"] I am one of those happy A-Bolt owners. I have a 300wsm with aftermarket brake and factory tuned trigger (2lbs.) It is an on average 3/4moa rifle out past 1000 yards. That means I've shot 1/2moa and I've shot 1moa+ with it but on average it holds 3/4 moa with HSM ammo. With handloads I'm sure it would be even better. My best group with that combo was a 4 1/2" group @ 976 yards. So is the A-Bolt capable... I'd say yes. Would it be my first choice... I'd say only on one condition. If you insist on a factory rifle and NEVER intend to do any action work or barrel swapping then its as good as any other factory rifle and maybe better if you get a good one like I did. If you insist on factory but there is ANY CHANCE you might true up the action or swap out the barrel then GO WITH REMINGTON OR SAVAGE!!! With a few tools you can swap barrels on a savage yourself. When it comes to upgrading and aftermarket parts the Remington is king. For not much more than an A-Bolt you might be able to pick up semi-custom Rem. or Sav. used off the Internet. I don't know much about Savages but from what I've heard they are very accurate out of the box. Me personally knowing I would upgrade and not trusting in my own gun smithing skills I would look for a Remington Sendero in the caliber that you think will work best for your specific needs. If you don't reload now let me warn you, that will be next! Best of luck, Jason [/QUOTE]
