[QUOTE="StumpGrinder, post: 1969806, member: 114832"] I have owned a sako finwolf in 25-06, .5" group guarantee out of the box with factory ammo. I would still have it but I let a friend talk me out of it! A friend of mine has the RPR in 308 and loves it but I have never shot it. I have 2 M77s, one in 243 and one in 308. Both are sub moa with certain handloads. I also free floated them and put lighter springs in the triggers. I went with the M77s because they have strong bolts! I knocked the handel off a Rem 788 once when I got a hot handload stuck. My first rifle was a Remington 700 BDL in 30-06 and to date it was the most accurate rifle I have ever owned. With different factory and handloads the group's always strung vertical, Never much horizontal movement. I also free floated it and adjusted the trigger, I also shot it a lot. Different loads in the M77s are apt to move vertical and horizontal. Bottom line is, out of the box accuracy probably goes to the Sakko/Tika. If your willing to do some tweeking most modern rifles are capable of sub moa. One extra thought is that many custom rifles are built on the Remington 700 action. There must be a good reason for that! What ever you get, don't be afraid to make improvements. I personally free float all my rifles just because I'm convinced that makes them more accurate. I'm a hunter and my shooting experience is 500 yds and less. [/QUOTE]
