Grmh2000 Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 Hello all, i am heavily contemplating getting a new r1 in 30-06 somewhere in the near future. I am seeing alot of mixed reviews on accuracy. I am not a reloader and i would be using factory ammo. I was just curious to see if anyone had anything to say about the newer r1s and how accurate they are. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Planetcat Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 I have a 15 year old one in .30-06 and .300 wm (blued/wood) and a newer one in .338 wm with comfortech stock and black finish. I would say with the right ammo, they all shoot MOA on a lead sled. I shoot non-lead ammo and I've found that most ammo shoots well out of them except Hornady gmx. 165 or 180 grain in the .30 cals and 210 or above in the .338. For range ammo, Federal blue box soft points are very accurate. For hunting, Federal trophy copper works great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Most users report that their R1 rifles in 30-06 can achieve sub-MOA (minute-of-angle) accuracy with factory ammo. This means that they can group shots within 1 inch at 100 yards.
