What's your most accurate hunting rifle?

Stock Tikka T3L in 7mm-08. 22-1/2” barrel. Weighs 7.5 lbs with scope, sling, and a full 5 round magazine. Haven’t killed anything with it yet…. But when the time comes., I’m sure it’ll work just fine.
 
So I'm curious how price plays into accuracy. My assumption is that its minor relevance.

The rifle should be of the hunting class, say less than 12lbs.

So I my most accurate is probably my tikka 22-250, I haven't taken the thermal off it to shoot a groups with it, but sighting in, she's sub 1/2 moa.

What's your go to tack driver?

Ps, second choice might possibly be my ruger american g2
Who the hell hunts with a 10lb rifle? Lol
 
Accuracy is down the list of requirements for my hunting rifles as long as it has a reasonable degree of accuracy that can be relied on to hit big game in the kill zone.

I put reliability first along with ruggedness. I next want that rifle to fit and carry like a fine bird gun. Reliability means it's a type that has withstood the test of time ala Mauser type action.
 
I can print 3-5 shot sub MOA groups on paper all day with my 6mm creedmoor with factory ammo and it’s been an elk killer this year but my confidence is still in my tikka 300 win mag. It’s great having a gun you just grab out of the safe and know it’s going to hit where you want it. (Not an excuse to not practice, I shoot that gun quite a bit)

My Browning 7 PRC and Trijicon, kinda fell into it and shot it some. Fell in love. It used to be a Win model 70 .300 win mag but this is so much more accurate and fun to shoot.
 
Mine is a bergara premier approach in 6mm CM with a nightforce NXS 5.5-22x56. Target is at 1000 yards

Tikka T3X CTR 20” .260 Remington
The second and fourth are five shot groups, and the first and third are three shot groups on two different days at a ranged 100 yards.
Shot using the Sig Elite ammunition with the 130 grain Sierra Tipped Gameking that, unfortunately, is no longer in production. Once I saw how good it grouped, I did manage to buy several rounds though.
