[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 599232, member: 10291"] IMHO it is a game of percentages when considering highly accurate factory rifles. Some rifles will give a higher % than others. The survey on this site as others have referenced, is a fair indicator. I say fair because the total sample of each rifle makes a difference in the stats. Also, we don't know which votes are based on opinion and which are based on actual usage. Fact is , as can be easily seen on this site, lots of shooters think they have the most accurate brand........it's likely more rifle, load, shooter, dependent than brand dependent in most of the commentary. I have some very accurate Remington, Winchester, and Savage rifles that will give accuracy as good as a custom of similar design. I have also dumped a lot of factory rifles of the same make over the years due to lousy accuracy. The Hart is an excellent barrel and they do an excellent job mating it to your action.. I think the difference in putting together a PROPERLY built custom with a good barrel, is that those percentages of getting an exceptionally accurate rifle increase substantially. I also believe that the custom barrel will more often foul less, clean easier, and deliver more favorable hot/cold/clean bore performance. [/QUOTE]
