Best ARA factory gun?

He has to remove a little material from the stock, nothing major.
That's a very nice 452 American. I also have a nice one but not quite that nice
We'll have to confirm with Appalachian but my guess is the wood that needs to be removed is inletting inside the stock. Not on the outside
Yes he has to inlet the inside of the stock. Also that’s not an American. It’s a full stock. I wouldn’t want to shoot that fine specimen in competitions.

Statistics pretty much show that a cz rifle is going to do well in factory class, last year I think 18 of the top 20 shot cz rifles, probably gonna be the same this year
I don't recall the FS rifles having the same checkering pattern as the Americans. The FS also has the Euro style humpback buttstock

The box says American; if it was an F/S it would never leave the wall. But Appalachian is right about competing with it. The darn thing is, it's the most accurate sporter I have owned. I hated to put the rail on it but it's the only way I could get my benchrest scope mounted and I had to find out how it would shoot.

It's really nice but I'd shoot it, especially if it's the best shooter you have. It's not like you're shooting PRS with it. Put a picatinny adapter on the front sling swivel stud and use a good bipod and good rear bag. You'll be surprised by how competitive you can be.
This is my 452 American that I was using as my back up rifle. It's a great shooter too but not quite as good as my T1x. Plus the trigger isn’t as nice
This is my Anschutz 1712. I wouldn't hesitate to use it in ARA factory class if it was allowed

Gerry if you're referring to the trigger on the T1x I would say it depends on the trigger and a spring swap yields a better return than anything. I could get mine down to about a 1.5# with a few different springs but it was nice and crisp. Others have said that their triggers went safely lower. I've since installed a Jard trigger and that was another issue. After reworking the sear (it was a mess) it's now at about 6 oz.
