What firearm surprised you as to the accuracy?
Mine was my Mosin-Nagant with scope. 12" X 12" plate at 100 yards!!
-
My Remington 700. I had trouble for the longest time getting tight groups with it. Thought I just got a bad one. Then I replaced the scope on it and found out it's a tack driver.

Darn near any old Savage.

Barrett M95.
Sighted it in at home with a bore sight.
First round at 100 yards was a little high and right of bullseye. Appx. 1" high and 1" right if I remember correctly.
Placed the rifle with scope on bullseye and move crosshairs to point of impact.
Second round dead center - +/- 1/8".
Third round missed paper? - no visible impact.
Stopped and when range went cold went out and discovered the third round had entered the hole in the bullseye approximately 1/8" high (slight oval hole).

My first Ruger. A Mark 1 back around 1970. If I could get a good enough rest it was almost like a 22 rifle. It blew me away. I have been a Ruger fan ever since!!

Mossberg Patriot. One of the most accurate in my bunch.

Hi-Point .380. Say what you will about them, but that thing was perfectly reliable and crazy accurate. Had a lot of fun shooting old golf balls with it. Only let it go because a fella offered to trade me an NIB H&R 676 22/22mag for it. That was too good to pass up.

The M16. Basic in 1979.
Posted to another thread. (Zero for AR15)
I was Shocked, how easy it was to shoot accurately out to 400 yards. With a 2 second window to aquire target and shoot, on the Random 400 yard Pop Up Range. I hit (if I remember correctly 21 out of 22, fairly easily.
My next most accurate outing, was with a fellow Firearm Brother at a gathering of Firearms Enthusiasts. (About a year and a half ago.) We were all offering to let each other shoot anything from the various Firearms we had brought. He had a Bolt Action, .222. Douglas Bull Barrel, Vortex Scope Marlin. (I'd have to go look at the target mounted to my safe, for the exact model/mods and Scope.) 1st 6 rounds I shot out of his Firearm, with his Handloads, (100 yards, on a Very Windy day.) My six shots could be covered by a dime, spot on the X. (Bullseye) I was extremely impressed with his rig.
He (mock) threw his hands up and walked away, saying I had outshot him with his own rifle, on my 1st 6 rounds, on a Very windy day. He had me shoot 3-4 more (different) Batches of Handloads to determine which one was best. (The 1st one.)
Can you believe the guy would not Sell/Trade it to me for one of mine. 🤔
I've got the target mounted to my Safe. (Photo's provided, if you think I am FOS.)
(I took "Tightest Group," out of a two day shoot, with that one.) 👍😁
I achieved an apprx. 2" group of 20 rounds (5.56 at 100 yards,) from my Modified/Slightly worked Essential Arms AR15. (After getting it sighted in.) Again, on a Very Windy day. Got that target mounted to my safe, as well.
Sig Sauer CP1, Red/Green BDC scope. 3X mag. (?)

Most any short barreled defensive shotgun loaded with buckshot. Read an article a few years back about it, so a few buddies and I tried it. Sure enough, lucky to hit a milk jug with more than 2 pellets at 20 yards.

This one.
It started out as a project for someone else who backed out on the deal after I had the metal work done and a good half of the stock work completed. Decided to finish it for myself.
The plan had been to send the action, from scope rings to floor plate, to Bob (Bob is all I can remember, he's since passed so that's moot) over in Mo. for color case hardening. Once I had the AcraGlass done and final coat of finish on the wood I got to thinking about the risk of slight warpage to the receiver during reheat treating so I assembled it with metal in the white and took it to the range after bore sighting. The spotting scope showed the first was 1" left and 1 1/2" high and the third was left by a tiny fraction. The second was nowhere to be seen. Thinking I had pulled the second wild I put one more down the pipe that almost broke the third hole at twelve o'clock. When I walked down to pull the target you could have pushed me over with a feather. That hole from the first shot was less than a 1/16" out of round. That shot all ideas of color case hardening in the butt.

A Remington 870 with rifled slug barrel. It will shot 3 shot groups, all touching at 75 yards when I do my part..

I'll second the Heritage Rough Rider. (Mine is 7.5".)
Shockingly Accurate.
A hoot to shoot.

My Thompson/Center Compass 6.5 CM that I won in a raffle. It came with a Vortex 4-12X40. I shoots Hornady 143 gr ELDX in dime sized groups at 125 yds consistently. No other brand/bullet comes close to it, so I stocked up on them. Six bucks and 3 does with one shot kills so far. Not bad for a $10 rifle!

Browning xbolt in 308. First ammo tried in it was hornady sst 150 grain. Three shots clustered in a space less than a dime at 100 yards . 200 yards grew to about a quarter Went back to the gun store and bought 3 more boxes of the same lot number . I knew it was fruitless to waste time trying to handload something better .

Savage bolt action .22LR. Deadly accurate with just about any ammunition. I mean 3/4-inch groups at 100 yards out of the box.

Some of them Savages and I do not like Savage. 8-10 lbs trigger pull, plastic trigger guard might break or just fall off. If you can stay on target and send one down the barrel without jerking or the trigger don't break some are accurate.
I've seen some of the H&R 50 cal ugly $100 black powder guns shoott better groups than High dollar pretty black powder guns. Also seen a ugly 22-250 H&R shoot my reloads as one holers at 100 yards and not even really bearing down to stay on target. This ugly thing proved that I can shoot good groups if a rifle will just let me.
Made my nice looking 22-250 Winchester and Remington look shameful with their 1/2 inch groups.

S&W Victory, the newest one in .22. Puts them in a dime at 10 yards. I can't shoot that well otherwise.

what is the rifle?
The action came from an FN 98 Mauser, 1930 Greek IIRC. Barrel is a Midway short chambered pre-thread chambered for 7x57. Trigger is a Timney feather weight. Can't for the life of me recall which safety I used. The 1/4 sawn claro walnut was a blank I sourced from Cecil Fredi in Vegas. The scope is the one that convinced me Nikon made Good budget scopes. It's a 4x40 Monarch UCC mounted in Leupold bases. I wish I could say the brown is rust brown, but the recipe I had been given proved a fruitless effort, so I relented and used Mark Lee Express Brown after blasting with Brownells 270+ media. And now down to the confession. I bleened up on the Permalyn stock finish. I wanted a nice shiny finish, but when I took it out of the rotisserie dry box it had a very fine pebbled finish. I had put Permalyn finish in my airbrush instead of the much thinner sealer. I liked it so much I just left it.
