I have never really had an "accurate" rifle. MOA was meters of accuracy, mostly my shooting, standing, un supported, at shorter ranges. Plinking and such.
Looking around for a bolt action I saw these accu-trigger savages, and really like the way they felt. after looking around at them I ended up with a Bull Barrel free floated vented thumbhole stock 22 lr about a week ago.
bought 22lr, because I have ammo for it, I can actually afford to shoot it. And I shoot paper, which isn't good for eating anyway.
What surprised me though was the accuracy of this gun. Using some federal auto match bulk pack, lead round nose. I bought when I couldn't get anything else. ( got 9k rounds of 22 now ) I sighted it in, cardboard box for support, left hand for holding the stock against the shoulder. Sighted in at 25 yards. got 2 shots in the same hole at the center X and one flyer maybe .25 off the others.
The flyer was my fault I realized after I had an odd goal. I wanted to hit a penny at that range. Went out Saturday, taped some pennies to a cardboard box at 25 yards, on the rickity table I was using, shot one round, and hit it. Two other people hit pennies as well, at the same range. My wife did it on the first shot, ( first time with the gun, never shot off support, and she hates scopes ) and a friend did it after 3 tries.
After I bought this gun read somewhere that these can do sub MOA even with 22lr. I doubted that for awhile but I don't doubt it anymore.
I'll add a picture of the one recovered penny when I get the camera out. 2 of the pennies went through 4 layers of cardboard into a muddy backstop.
