Most accurate out-of-box Precision rifle

Most guns shoot about the same, but I feel that Tikka heavy barreled rifles are some of the most consistently excellent rifles.
There are good and bad in everything. There have been stellar results from every make, particularly Savage, Remington and Browning, but there are also dogs from each brand. I have seen and owned both good and bad in many brands, but never had a mediocre Tikka.

While many factory rifles will perform admirably 'out of the box' Consistently amongst the very best will be the Sako TRG, PGWDTI Coyote and offerings from Accuracy International. My personal preference is for the TRG's though my buddy to whom I sold my Coyote now uses it to beat me and my TRG's lol !
...just another opinion for you to consider.....I bought a Savage 10 Fcp-k, and "BOOM"....this thing is sick! Great optics, and this gun is a laser beam!...no upgrade, just a great scope, bipod, ice in your viens, and an addiction to accuracy, good to go!
Agreed - I had forgotten about that. One of the guys at my club has one and a very, very fine rifle it is.
expensive options = accuracy international AW, sako trg22 (accurate reliable “battle proven” ect…)
inexpensive alternative = savage 110 fcp
but In my experience, with the savage you are not getting ,25moa like OP posted earlier, it's more like a true .5 to .75moa rifle.
Remington 700 will need tuning to obtain consistent and comparable results when compared to the savage. Some reasons for this are their floating bolt and accutrigger.

The more expensive rifles are very nice such as the Blaser, Sako TRG etc.
But for the less expensive. The Remington 5R milspec. I own 3 of these, and have shot a few owned by other people. My experience with Federal Gold 168 ammo and these rifles has been excellent. The only tuning you'll need is to lower the trigger weight and check the torque on the screws. Also go with two piece bases with a quality scope. The ones I've shot are true .5 moa or less right out of the box with off the shelf ammo. Yes you can still fine tune with reloads but it's sure nice to have a rifle that doesn't require reloading to make it shoot.
Now this isn't a true "out of the box" rifle. Since it's a non catalog item, but they are pretty easy to get these days. So they should be included.
Remington 700 stainless action, HS precision stock with aluminum bedding block, and 24" 5R rifled stainless varmint contour barrel. The stainless is bead blasted. They look good, have decent fit/finish and shoot well. If you want a tactical/sniper rifle in disguise then this is it. You can take it to the range and all the politically correct people at the range will overlook it. I personally don't care, but it's still funny how people's perception changes depending on the looks of the rifle.

Sako trg is proving to be a very consistent shooter from rifle to rifle. Have yet to see a bad one.
If you can afford them as they range from expensive to extremely expensive:
Accuracy International, PGM, Sako and Steyr.
I've owned a Steyr SSG 69 which used to be one of the few true 1/2 MOA rifle sold to civilians.
Today many companies build and sell true 1/2 MOA rifle to civilians.
Unfortunately many of the best precision rifles are custom jobs or special production and cannot be sold to civilians (USMC M40 rifle) or are available in limited numbers (Sturgeon Rifles).
Many rifles will shoot 1/2 MOA if you fiddle around but few shoot 1/2 MOA out of a box with factory match ammo.

Try a Rem 40X. Factory rifle (albeit from their custom shop), and everyone I've owned has been a very accurate rifle. - dan
