I am only interested in accurate hunting rifles.
I will find a way to accurize any hunting rifle that will not maintain 1¼ moa with loads it likes.
Exceptions: Lever action 30-30 rifles, Military pattern rifles from the WW1 - WW2 eras.
That being said, I have a number of moa or better hunting rifles, starting at the 222 Remington and including the 338 Win Mag.

That pretty much sums it up for me too. In fact, we have swapped a few rifles back and forth over the years, eh!!!
But calibre-wise I guess my bookends are a bit different, starting with a .17 Fireball and ending with a 9.3x62.............the latter of which on its maiden range visit put three rounds touching at fifty yards with the first load I tried. It is off for a bear hunt with a buddy of mine.

Hard to sit & think what is best. Different styles & demands. 1; Rem 700 222. 2; Ruger 77 280 varminter,3; Rem 700 SPS varminter 243,4; Ruger 77 243, 5; Browning micro medallion 22 hornet. There are others all 1 to 1 1/2 moa. # 3-5 or others can change on load development & time spent on the gun. Gun fit helps have better technique and will move order ( this is with my shooting ability others could take the same guns & come out with a complete different order)
