0.25 MOA right out of the box!

My understanding of the costs involved with being SBr competitive would require the annual purchase/chamber of a minimum of three barrels (more if one isn’t a hummer)...probably a bore scope ...assuming you already have a good quality front rest/rear bag ($2K), wind flags, Lapua brass, match bullets...and then there are the travel and accommodation costs, not only in Alberta but outside... A friend shoots F class (a month or so ago in Sask, a couple of weeks ago in Kamloops). Competition = Time & money. There is a reason not many 30 year-olds are posing for pictures in the winners circle
OP- sorry for the derail but I think your question has been answered. Quarter minute capable factory rigs are about as common as pink unicorns.
Your right I would say Travel is the biggest cost involved but that is true for anything , not just competitive shooting , there are also club matches where travel is no more than a trip to the range . f class rig’s are typically way more money than Br , if you shoot lots you will go through barrels no matter what discipline , if you find a good barrel you can save it for competition and use average barrels for practice , this is quite common , takes about 5 min to swap a barrel . You can spend a little or a lot on a front rest , still a lot of bag squeezers shooting 20-30 year old front rests ,
Point is , it’s not an equipment race as is often heard on the internet , that term is usually used by guys who are either making an excuse not to do it because all the bs they told their buddies and posted on the Internet hits the floor with the commence fire command or they tried to buy their way to the win and found out that doesn’t work either,
Just requires good old fashion hard work and a commitment to learn with out the ego getting in the way, it’s the same for any discipline.
There’s lots of help for those who want it but it’s not easy and the learning curve is pretty steep.
Back to the original question , I have not seen a factory rifle of any kind or cal that will consistently agg 1/4 moa at 100 or beyond
(No intend to offence anyone for any reason. If you feel offended, I do apologize right here, right now
)
Some people prefer to go competitions, some are not. Thing just goes that way, why does it matter. Every CGN user can commit, no matter he/she has competitions experience or not.
Just contribute whatever you can, like honestly list all facts, and conclusion with what you think/believe in one or two sentences. Don't forget to let others know it's your personal opinion, by adding some words like, i think, i believe .etc.
Instead of reply who/what is right, who/what is wrong, why not focus on how to help. for example, if quarter moa factory rifle is none, why not recommend a closest one you can find. This is much much better than keep saying no, or even worse - argue
. I starts to stop arguing with others years ago, and try to live with people with different opinions. It did save me lots of time and troubles.

Wow, some pretty crazy daydreaming in this thread!
.25 moa...some of these people have never checked out SBR match average scoring. I particularly liked the “ all my hunting rifles shoot .25” hilarious!!!! Not many people shooting xbolts and partitions in the 100y 1/2 moa challenge, wonder why?

I'm not surprised to see the name Bob Forslund in a discussion on precision rifles. He was my neighbor for many years, I was privileged to see some of the legendary rifles he built himself, and heard many a story about the competitions he and Albert had won.
Amazing guy who is missed.
If money not an issue....INSITE ARMS builds amazing rigs,i know had one built and went to range late in fall on a cold and windy day after 10hr shift to break in barrel.The thing shot .3 3 out of the 4 groups all the while im fkn around with scope settings and taking out the bolt and cleaning barrel..Thus im sure in steady hands this will consistently shoot .2 level for sure.They build crazy accurate rifles.
So it’s a .25” combo then or what?
