While I have a couple of high end custom target rifles, my greatest joy has come from making my big game and varmint rifles shoot the best that I can. Like to believe I have been successful with most of my guns. Took learning, time, and patience. Have one I just can't teach to fly; a Remington 721 with all tricks in 25-06. Yes an aftermarket barrel, but I have no idea who made it or smithed it. I can get good but not great hunting accuracy from it, but always wanted a little more. To be honest, it is one of my favorite rifles, (probably because it is my problem child) it has good bones, but just can make it shoot boringly well. Ready soon to rebarrel. I have one rifle where the stars briefly aligned, a 700 Remington Classic in 17 Remington. The rifle has been free floated, glass and pillar bedded, with an aftermarket trigger and 6.5 x 20 Leupold. With 30 grain Berger's at 100 yards, it is the only rifle I have ever shot in the zeros. Sadly Berger stopped making the bullet and the barrel is now toast. On the other end of the spectrum, my Wheeler built 6BRA shoots better than I have any right to expect.
