I got to many rifles I care to mention on here, but I'll name some already mentioned manufactures that I own. I got one winchester 70, several rem 700's which I've always considered myself a rem guy. Within the last five years I've started sampling other manufacturers. Big green still puts out good rifles, but they have started slipping in the QC department lately. My sps shoots lights out but the VTR I struggled with some. I've purchased three savages, one howa, a CZ 527, two newly made 700's one sps and one VTR and two Tikkas.
Having said that, I've got to agree with two previous posters highcountry and Bonzy. All of mine shot decent with factory ammo in the beginning after trying a few different manufacturers and bullet types and weights. But reloading can make a night and day difference.
And out of all the recent rifle purchases I've grown fond of Tikkas. They handle anything I feed through em. Finding incredible accuracy with factory ammo is always a plus for me in case you forget your re loads. And with the two tikkas I've found factory loads that will rival reloads for em. Plus, I love them for the price and they fit, pull up and point for me perfectly. But all the recent rifles I've purchased will all shoot MOA some sub with reloads and the Tikkas sub with certain factory even. If I was you I'd get a tikka t3 lite and never look back. I got all the rifles a guy really needs, but Tikkas will probably be purchased in the future. I must say I've never owned a browning, ruger, marlin centerfire, or TC, therefore I cannot comment on them.
