[QUOTE="HARPERC, post: 1420670, member: 30671"] Like anything else factory models can vary a bit. At the end of the day with best components in both, a bolt action is likely to be more accurate, most builders have more experience with bolt guns. I just sent mine off with Oregunsmithing in Pendleton, to be re-stocked with a composite. He's got a couple that aren't pictured on the site yet. Good looking stock, pillar bedded, both front, and back. I've had others that shot extremely well as is, this 30-06 has been finicky. A little fore-end pressure has made it better, so I suspect the bedding, and stock isn't optimum. However just like I would a bolt gun if it doesn't perform after the new stock it will be re-barreled. A good trigger job, or replacement is usually a good thing. Stock configuration looks good, but especially on the #1A's aren't really helpful from the bench, too skinny to ride the bags well, or offer a good cheek weld, the new stock addresses these issues. Point being while it may be accurate getting the most out of one can be more difficult. My expectation when it's all done is easily sub MOA, as I've had others that readily gave that. Good Luck!
