Your Ruger Hawkeye.

I've personally shot anywhere from 1"-1.5" at 100yds pretty consistently with my 35 Whelen. With the 225gr TSX's it has been a little more promising with a little more load development I think constant 1" is quite possible IMO. I would also like to try some Accubonds as well in this gun.
 
I have 3, a Hawkeye Frontier in 358 Win with a 16.5" barrel, a 338 RCM with a 20" barrel, and a 375 African with a 23" barrel.
Of the 3, the 358 will consistently shoot the tightest groups, the 338 has done well, but is fussy, and the 375 is a "work in progress " with some loads pushing the inch after a bit of bedding work...
 
I've bedded and floated my .280 All-weather, as well as work over the trigger, and now it shoots every load I've tried into MOA or less at 200 yards. Some loads go into 1/2MOA.
 
I my 35 Whelen that I got form Digger:D She does 1.25 -1.5 with 250 SP's. I'm gonna try 225 Accubond in the off season as well.

Yeah I had to go and buy another one because I kicked my butt for selling the first one to you:slap::p. BTW I really like your set-up with the wood stock-looks great. Hope you are enjoying it, I am liking mine as well. Good luck on killing something with it this year.:)
 
I've got one in 338 Win Mag that shoots right around MOA with 225gr Hornady Interlocks and just a little better with 225gr Speer boat tails.
 
one of my best if not the best. Average is probably around 1.25" ?? Its still pretty new, less than 150 rounds thru it and not alot of tinkering done yet

I was really unhappy with my 7-08 at first. With factory loads I was getting 3 inch groups consistently. I had to free float the barrel and it needs to be bedded but now I am down to 1 inch ish with Accubonds @ 2800 fps. As TB says a lot of tinkering to be done yet
 
Out of the box, with factory ammo, my Alaskan shot 1.25" at 100, pretty consistently. With my first handloads I made cloverleafs....With Macmillan stock and trigger tune it's easy MOA to 350 yards. Haven't shot it further than that
 
My alaskan mimics gatehouse's. I have punched easy cloeverleafs with 260 gr accubonds, and averaging around an inch with 300 gr hornady. Plenty good enough for me.

My MK II rifles have all given me pleasant results over the years as well.
