0.25 MOA right out of the box!

I think most people are content to live in an alternate reality.

I tested many rifles , reload a lot of weights and powder types , I do only 308 ,

So far PGW Coyote without any modification is pretty close with 147g FMJ-BT , 43.1gr IMR 4895 Lapua brass , shoots .30 MOA all day long.

I keep buying testing and selling many bolt guns , Rem 5R stainless with custom trigger ,reload ammo , got .44 MOA ,


Ruger bolt action 308 , reload ammo .60 MOA approx

AI AW or L96 way too expensive to touch and test , like a Porsche .

my focus is on 308.

I'm planning to buy and test CADEX 308.

I guess to answer your original question then, AI AW.

Nope. I have had one for years (bought it new) it could rock out in the .3's and .4's with the original barrel but it is not going to spit out 1/4 moa groups "all day long".
 
In 2014 I bought a AIAX, within the first 10rds from that rifle I shot a 0.15" 5 shot group at 100yds using 175smk, fed brass, fed match primer and 44.0gr Varget. This was prone with bi-pod and rear bag. Over the next couple years I never was able to replicate it although I had several groups that were sub 0.25 MOA.

I remember the first real outing with my remington 700 5R in a cadex chassis with a timney trigger, I had a 5 round group @ 0.340". Never once have I ever been able to replicate that with the 700, or a DT.

To the op- for the money you have spent on testing multiple rifles you could have had a custom built by a very good smith. A slow twist barrel, combined with the bullets winning in sr benchrest at the momment and then got a scope thats capable of holding zero that well. Nevermind factory anything. If you want consistent .25moa @100y you are outside what any factory rifle will do, and you will be into some serious handloading prep work.
 
Quoted for truth.

In unrelated news, anyone know which model of Norc M-forgery will shoot 1/2moa with AE 55gr? Asking for a friend...

Any of them will shoot one hole groups all day long.... If you shoot it all day long, eventually there will be only one hole.

Don't forget... At this point, you also have to start looking for bullets that can shoot 1/4 MOA groups.

I picked up a Cadex Kraken in 6.5x47 Lapua and 300 Norma, the 6.5 shoots .3-.5 Moa pretty constantly at 100 yds (with various different bullets and loads), going to do more load development at distance though because I have all fast twist barrels. I had a cadex when they first came out and sold it because I wasn't happy with it. But these new ones... wow, they are definitely a Tier 1 Manufacturer.
 
There are few commercial bullets which are capable of true .25 moa accuracy. To be clear, a .25 moa rifle , to me, is a rifle can be counted on to produce a .25 moa five shot group ON DEMAND. Not every once in a while; anytime. A rifle which shoots a group of .22 moa then follows up with a .4 is not a .25 rifle. There have been some factory 40X-BR rifles which were true .25 moa rifles but not too many.

Right on - Read my sig line.
