what's your most accurate deer rifle with factory loads

The Weatherby Vanguard Series 2 has a Sub-MOA guarantee. My synthetic 30-06 has never shot bigger than 1" when I do my job. I can get .5 groups with the Nosler Trophy Grade 165gr Accubonds and I get .6 with the 165gr Partitions loaded by Federal.

Not specifically deer rifles but both my savage .243 and 30-06 will shoot a nickel sized five shot group at 100 yards if I don't screw it up.

My Remington 700 classic in 25-06. Consistent .350 to .400 inch groups with 110 grain Nosler Accubonds or 117 grain Sierras. Never have thrown factory rounds through any of my rifles but I'd imagine 25-06 would still shoot.

Ruger M77 in 270 WSM. Shot through multiple factory loads until I found one it liked and settled on Federal Premium with 130 grain Barnes bullets. Unfortunately, it's dang near impossible to find any factory ammo.

My trusty Win Model 70(not pre64) but old. 300win mag. Shoots under an inch at 100. Shot a 7", 5 shot group at 485 this Oct in CO. In the following days, my son and I smoked two nice Mulies with it at over 250yds each. I haven't touched the scope in ten years. Lightned the stock trigger to three pounds. Factory Winchester Super X ammo always. I have alot of newer, prettier guns, but the 70 is my baby. Never leave home without it.
The first deer rifle I bought shoot sub-moa with Remington ammo. It's a Savage Model 110 30-06 that I bought new when I was 11 years old. I think I paid $400. Nothing fancy but it's a shooter. It out shoots my T/C prohunter and Weatherby Sub-moa (both 30-06).

I have an old model Weatherby Vanguard in .257 Weatherby that will shoot under .5 moa all day long with 120 gr partitions and 115 gr tsx's. Absolutely love that rifle.

The rifle I bought with my own money win mod 70 270 wby mag it will shoot 5 shots at 100 yards that you can cover with a dime.
Pretty much all of my factory rifles shoot sub moa groups. I wouldn't keep one that didn't. My 30-30, 45-70 and old '06 shoot as well as I can see with open sights. The worst shooting scoped gun I have is a Rem 700 Classic 220 Swift. No heavey barrel and a ton of rounds through it including a time or two that it got hot to the touch. A new tube should bring it back though. "Only accurate rifles are interesting"

I have an old Winchester .270 that will put 3 shots touching at a hundred with Hornady ammo with an old straight 6 power Redfield. The light Mag ammo was king, but they don't make it anymore.... Superformance is ok though.
I love the gun! Always hits so long as I am under control.....

Not a popular choice but I really like my TC Icon chamber in TC 30, that I bought before Thompason Center was sold. I have shot sub 1 inch groups at 200 and sub 3 inch groups at 400. It is toped with a lupy vari x 3 b and c though.

My Browning A-bolt .270 win shoots quarter size groups at 200 yards with 130 grain TSX factory ammo. Remington Core lokts open up to about 2" at 200 yards.
