The point made below is very valid.

Its not only the rifle, its the bullets (what type) as well as the twist.

Twist is elusive in that some rifles will shoot a wide range very well and some with the same twist will not. No one seems to have found the reason.

So, you are best off picking the twist thats centered around he weight of bullet you want for the best possible returns.

If you truly want that guarantee then a custom fitting barrel is the better way to go as they true up the shoulder and thats the single biggest key to a tack drive rifle.

Also you are not going to get 1 MOA out of 5.56 ammo, you will need to go with the quality target rounds and or reload your own.

Chambers are a variable as well with the 223 chamber, the 5.56 chamber (can shoot both) or the Wylde Chamber that is supposed to allow accurate shooting of both.

Weatherby Vanguard Series 2. They upgraded the stock from the original, added a match quality two-stage trigger, 3-position safety and a sub 1 MOA guarantee right out of the box. I've got two of them, one a .223, and they both easily surpass that criteria.

All that said, they come with 1:12 twist. 63gr. is going to be as heavy as you'll want to go. I shoot 55gr., so it's all good.
