Most accurate hunting rifle "out of the box"

[Alchase]

I read the cold bore shot crap all the time. If a rifles bedding is done right, the action is stress free, and the bbl is free floated or in some cases neutrally bedded then a rifle will shoot to the same point of impact cold, warm, or hot. If the point of impact changes as the bbl warms up then there's a bedding or floating problem.

I agree, I have had a ton more "fifth shot flyers" then cold bore differences.

The best I have ever had is my My Tikka T-3 Lite in 270 Win (not a WSM).

MY all time worst shooter was a Win M70 Feather Weight in 270 Win. It had a beautiful stock and was sweet to look at. But it would not shoot under 2.5" at 100 yds. I sent that one down the road within 3 months of purchasing it.
