What's your most accurate hunting rifle?

German made Weatherby 300 Weatherby mag. Mark V, second is 308 Remington 5r 10th anniversary.
 
I've owned / hunted with far too many rifles. Over the decades, more and more Tikka's found their way into my safe. Currently own 3 Tikka's. .243 Win / .270 Win / 30-06. That's it. All 3 shoot sub MOA. The T3x Laminated in 30-06 is very, very close to a ONE HOLE rifle at 100 yards with 168 gr TMK's. Scary accurate for a 30-06. That accuracy continues exponentially and predictably as ranges increase. A joy to own as I cannot afford custom.

Cheers.
 
you beat me to it. Except I still have mine. Those older abolts like the older 700's were fine shooting rifles. I really think browning screwed the pooch with the AB3.
My ab3 shoots 1/4 moa at 100 yards I really like it but I haven't had it long. It's a 30-06 1/4 moa with normal everyday 180 grain Remington core lokt.
 
A seekins element 28 nosler I shot the barrel out of :(
I got a Ph2 to replace it and on my first sample of 50 rounds. It was about double the mean radius as the original.

Over the life of this rifle average mean radius on my baseline load was . 3 MOA with an SD .18.

Unfortunately, I have not had any good experiences with remington rifles. Since I come from Germany, my most accurate rifle is a sauer 101 Gti in 308. I can easily hold 1moa at 150 yards with it. when I shoot it at 400 yards I have shots of max. 3moa.
 
Seekins Element in 6.5creed
Ive never seen a gun shoot factory ammo so well. Made it hard to sell but bills are bills.
 
I have several factory rifles that could never be blamed for a hunting miss but my day in day out most accurate rifle…the one that I would bet the house on, is my Seekins in 6mm creedmoor. Once zeroed it is always on no matter the temperature, weather, elevation etc.
I have a tikka and an x bolt that are very reliable and accurate but just a little less so than the Seekins.
 
Im going to break the internet and no on is going to believe me. But Mine is a Savage axis in 6.5 CM.
Dont know what it is but thing just shoots.
I am not like a lot here that have higher end stuff with my most expensive rifle being a Model 70.
But I have shot plenty Brownings, Christensens, Sakos etc and this cheap Axis is a shooter.

I have seen several savages shoot lights out.
 
I’ve got several but probably have to say a CTR 6.5 CM. My Alamo precision 7-08AI is showing serious promise during fire forming though. Already hit steel at 1200 yards with it.

Brother, I believe you. I've bought three Axis II (the discontinued models) in the last month, on KILLER deals, just to tinker with. Two different .223 with 22" barrels, one a heavy sporter, the other the heavy barrel, both shot 1/2" or better 5 shot groups repeated and consistently with different factory ammo from 55gr to 73gr, straight out the box, in the cheap factory stocks. I've got a full custom .308 and they will stay right there with it. I mean, it truly was DISGUSTING how well those two rifles shot. So when I saw a 6mm ARC Axis II heavy barrel on closeout, I ordered it to check out. Picked it up tonight. We'll see how it does. I'm all in on the three for well under $1000. The .223's are going to end up aftermarket stocks since they shoot so well in the factory ones, and the 6mm probably will as well. If you'd told me 6 months ago that I'd be buying Axis rifles to trick out, I'd have called you a fool. I guess it ended up that I'm the fool. LOL
 
Remmy 700 ADL 30-06. Stock except for a Timney trigger and a break. .36 with Norma bond strike and before they discontinue the Hornady superformance I could consistently get .25 before they were discontinued. I’ve yet to get a hand load to do quite as well and I would kill for some gmx bullets to try out. Never more than 5 shot groups so I’m sure it would open up. Decided this year to restock, bed, and flute the barrel. Hopefully I don’t regret it.

Another savage axis, 25-06 with a Boyd’s thumbhole stock. I have owned, shot, and hunted with plenty of other rifles but none compare to that axis. Honorable mention would be my .50 cal traditions tracker muzzleloader. Center punch a bullseye at 100 yds every time with a Williams western precision setup on it
