I honestly think buying a new rifle today is a real crapshoot. I have the rifle caliber you mentioned. Mines a Remington 700BDL in .25-06, and it leaves much to be desired in terms of accuracy. Yet, by and large my most accurate rifles are Remingtons. I'm one of those shooters who feel my best rifles were those made in the 1980s. Just one mans opinion. Best wishes.

Best Rifle
Pre 64 Winchester Model 70..Have 5 or 6 and they all shoot well. As far as the newer rifles...I think I will Have to go with the New Savage rifles with the accu trigger. Pretty accurate rifles and the price is pretty good too. Calibers..heck whatever works. Don't have much use for all the new wonder calibers. They are just recreating all of the old favorites with short cases or belted cases

my #1 ruger vt 220 is edgeing right in there as my favorite rifle right now.
the single shot falling block action is all me and the acuracy is scary with facotory ammo. even the frist few loads ive tried have scaterd like a shotgun blast at 50yds. im currently trying to think on what my next #1 is going to be, i cant think of any caliber other than a 243. off the top of my head.

Basic, bare-bones Rem 700 ADL in .270. Nice shooter and easy to handle. I also like my Bushy AR-15 and Ruger 10-22 for sheer fun.

Just picked up a Remmy Model 7 in .243 w/ a VXII 4-12 on it. Not a scratch $550!!! I have a sneaky feeling it's gonna become my favorite to tote around and pluck deer w/ rifle here in the near future. I also love my Sako 3006! It's a touch too heavy and pretty to tote around in the woods though. Absolute tack driver!!! Haven't been able to really get down and shoot the .243 yet. It's shot pretty well so far though. 1 1/2" or better. I think I'll be able to float the barrel and maybe one or two other things to get it to an inch or less. It'll do for now.

Sako in .17remington. weighs under 6lbs and the wood is just GORGEOUS. not sure if it's stock or custom wood but far too pretty to bang up on rocks and stuff. topped with a compact VX-II(the old VX-II) in matte finish in 3x9.
