All others things being equal, a striker fired action is more accurate than a hammer action.  Has anyone ever noticed that modern bench rest shooters have never used hammer fired rifles, do they not know what they are doing.  Ledball

Well guy's I am not a rest shooter. But I have noticed during the last few years a lot of folks shooting 250s and very tight groups at 200 Yds. One thing stands out. Barrels. All types of actions. Ballards, Hiwalls,  Stevens, Ruger #1, and modern striker types. But most if not all have been fired thru barrels by the best  makers we now have and fitted up by some superb Gunsmiths. Also the issue of deliberate load development by serious experimenters. And tight discipline as to load consistancy and refusal to shoot if there has been any glitch in the loading at the line. They go in the mud. Just a thought. Regards, FITZ.

The Hochs will shoot though - with Douglas barrel..............Joe
