What most people don’t realize is that ANY new, brand name bolt action rifle can give you sub-MOA accuracy.
It’s just a matter of finding the right bullet weight for that particular barrel.
I have a Winchester model 70 feather weight in 30.06...one of the newer ones (2002).
It’s consistently at .70 at 100yrds, but only with 180gr bullets. Any other bullet weight and it can spread as much as 4 inches at 100yds.
You need to know which weight synchs with YOUR barrel’s “ring”.
Try loading your own and that .70 will shrink. It's not just the weight of the bullet. I have very accurate loads for my .308 using 150, 165, 168, and 175 grain bullets.
“Ring?”
We have to talk.
