Well now. Although I've owned multiple .223's, both bolt action and single shot, that were/are extreme tack drivers, I'll not mention them individually.
But in what I consider "big game" rifles, the most accurate one I've ever owned is my old Ruger 77, .30-06, tang safety, that I bought new in 1977. From the day it was new, 3/4" groups at 100 yards were a regular occurrence. I've owned many more M77's and Mark II's since. Although hunting accuracy is acceptable, none compared to the old tang safety model.
Ironically, this old rifle sits in my safe, and I've probably never shot it in 20+ years.
Oh...I just remembered another old gun that shot sub-minute groups. An ugly old Remington 788 in 7mm/08.
WAYNO.
