where to get accuracy statistics

NorCalAshnjikov · 10-21-2004, 02:42 AM

i've noticed no manufacturer (ruger, remington, savage, marlin ...)
providing any kind of accuracy statistics,
where can I get some?
Its easy to compare rifles on price/features, but not on accuracy.
(i'm talking stock rifle, manifacturers reccomended ammo)

Just about all ammo manufacturers have ballistics charts on their loads. Actual results may vary, but it gives you a good place to start. As far as testimony for different makes/models, forums such as this one are good places to find info. But what you read w/ a grain of salt b/c no matter what, there will always be good stories and bad ones.

Weatherby has a target with their rifles and will talk to any one the accuracy of any rifle. if it doesn't shoot what thry say, they replace it!

I know Tikka(imagine Sako also) and HS Precision also include test groups w/ their rifles. I'd imagine any of the higher end manufacturers would also do the same.
