Most accurate non custom

[lawnboy1]

Looking for first hand experiences. Don't have the funds for true custom but I've seen too many chime in on other threads about their non custom guns shooting amazing. Some of the brands I've seen thrown around are Sauer,Seekins,Fierce,even Tikka etc . My budget is in the 2k range without glass. I'm looking for a 7 mag or 300 mag. Anyway would love your advice based on experience.
Thanks!

Snag a sako s20 closeout from eurooptic

Seekins out of the ones you have listed.

You can build a tack driver for 2K. Tikka action, in a KRG chassis plus the barrel of your choice

I'd be inclined to get a Seekins if he has the chambering and barrel length in the model you want.

 

[bsnyder]

Seekins or sako of the ones you listed. Or take what @waveslayer said because he's not wrong!

Bergara or Seekins in 300 PRC.

SAVAGE UL with a $800 scope mounted for 2K!!! Save $500 and go with the Storm, and spend the left over on ammo, hunts, anything you want. Flat out shooters!

SAVAGE!!! Flat out shooters!

Yep.

Do you have specific purpose for this rifle? My Bergara 7RM HMR shoots bug holes, but it is heavy by my standards. The Browning X Bolts have all shot extremely well that I have owned and come in a ton of configurations. My Savage was just okay (1" MOA), but this was a sample size of one.

Everything suggested so far I would agree with,to add to that I would say handle as many as possible and pick the one that fits (feels) the best to you.

I would avoid certain European brands like Sauer for the sole reason that their barrels are heat pressed into the receiver. Should you ever shoot it out or otherwise damage the barrel it is a lot harder to crank off and swap out.

Not to follow what is new and trendy but if I were a betting man I would say 300PRC and 7PRC are going to outshine 300WM and 7RM long term. I would look at those cartridges for more long term support and ammo availability, even if its a little thin now.

All I know is that my tikka ctr 6.5 creedmoor is the most accurate rifle I've ever owned. Over my customs. It always puts them where the crosshairs are regardless of position. My customs are bigger chamberings to be fair and still extremely accurate. The ctr is the rifle i grab if I need a no bs accurate rugged rifle. It's fairly heavy for a hunting rifle though. I might be taking it in a bear hunt here this weekend actually haha. If weight allows.

The Sauer 100 has a threaded barrel. Along with all tikkas and all sakos I'm aware of.
