[QUOTE="bullgator, post: 454859, member: 26299"] My first rifle was a Remington 742 30-06 (1960 mfg) and it was and is a 3" group rifle and has killed everything that walked in front of a squeezed trigger. I shoot ambidextrous, so autos work well when you are able to switch shoulders easily. My next rifle was / is a Browning Bar mdl 70 30-06. It was / is a 1.5" grp rifle and has killed everything that I was able to legally retrieve including the branch that was 18 inches in front of the barrel that blocked the 35 yd shot on the 8 point in heavy East Texas brush country. I had a LH Rem 700 BDL 7mmRm and it was a 3 in group gun. Then I got Savage 116 stainless LH 7mmRm fluted adj on/off brake and this rifle will do 1" groups or better. 4 wks ago at the range I shot 2 rds that you could cover with a quarter at 200 yds, muzzle brake ON. LOL I have a 7mm-08 A-Bolt II that is a 1" group with Boss not tuned. I do not have the money to create the LRH rifles that I see here and do not shoot just to shoot. I shoot to sight in and then go for meat, but with my acquisition last summer of a FN Browning action coupled with a 26" fluted heavy 25-06 brought me into a new realm of rifle joys of shooting. I also owned a BAR .300 win mag that was a 1.5 -2" groups. SOLD IT because the 30-06 did most all of the harvesting. My last 2 kills were many moons ago and were accomplished by my LH Savage 116.
