Why are factory savage rifles accurate?

I'd say it's accurate to say that no factory rifle straight out of the box is going to impress a top competitor in any discipline.

Accurate compared to what?

No one is winning wood with an out-of-the-box mass produced rifle.

Putting game animals down? Sure.

This post is 100% spot on and my thoughts to a T for years!….. My first 1000 yard Br rifle was a model 12 br in 6.5-284 I still own it and it got me started and hooked in the sport but 3/4 moa at 1000 was the best it ever did and 1 moa + was its normal and that was after I tweaked every factory part to get all I could outta it. The custom Dasher boys targets were less than half the size of mine consistently and sometimes more that was in 2010. It was a nice shooting rifle for what it was and I never DQ’d with it but as you stated,… accurate compared to what?…

This rifle today is still produced for the new guys getting interested in the sport just as it it did for you and many others.
