Alf,
You could be right, but probably the last gun I will own is one of the new Sauers..you have to admit they are butt ugly and my no. 1 rule is a gun must look good...One thing I will give the Europeans and that is they can really over engineer a rifle, and they are short on taste IMO...I think I will stay with the US guns, most of them shoot OK...

For pure accuracy I think the Brnos M-21 and 22, have proven the most accurate for me, but maybe I have been lucky, but they sure look like a rifle should look..

.

Like I said, look at the Sauers.....







A 5-shot 100-yard group, 6mm/.284, on Browning FN Mauser action w/ douglas 26" Premium barrel, Fajen Myrtlewood stock. 100 grain Sierra, 53.5 grains of original surplus H4831, F210 primer, MV 3400 FPS.



3 shot @ 100 yards, Ruger No. 1A 7X57mm, 140-grain Nosler Partition w/ 53 grains of WW 760, R/P brass, F210 primers, MV 3000 FPS.

Ray:

If you were correct in your first post, then all bench shooters wouldn't be shooting custom actions, nor would they have all used sleeved 700s way back when.

Bill Mc, That's Cool!
