[QUOTE="Teri Anne, post: 2278301, member: 118816"] Since you are looking for an out of the box rifle that shoots sub MOA I have two recommendations. The first is a Tikka T3X which is available in pretty much the caliber of your choice (I have two a .270 and a 30.06) The target below is from the .270 sighting a Vortex Diamondback Tactical 6 x 24 x 50 in at 100 yards using Sig Sauer Elite 140 gr .270 ammo. You can track the adjustments by the pasters on the target to the final 5 shot group. I have tried to do better with handloads but can only equal groups this size. My 30-06 (Same Vortex scope) shoots 5 rounds enlarging the first bullet hole with Federal Premium 165 gr Nosler Ballistic Tip (P3006Q) Another choice might be a Browning AB3 Hunter. I just bought one of these according to Browning both the AB3 and Xbolt utilize the same barrels. The AB3 comes in a variety of barrel lengths starting at around $600 and so far my .300 win mag with a 26 inch barrel is shooting right at 1 MOA with about any cannon fodder that I throw at it. It does however seem to like the Federal Premium Nosler AccuBond 180 gr (P300WA1) the best. Haven't tried hand loads yet due to powder availability issues but am looking at finding sub MOA groups when I do. All in all the Tikka's, Vortex Optics and out of the box ammunition make them a good choice for a very accurate out of the box combination. [/QUOTE]
