The Hertberger from Bass Pro Shops/Cabelas 260gr is sub moa easily and I'm shooting it with a scope that has 6x max magnification. I do use for the Federal 300gr for hunting the thick woods that I hunt. Even then, I'm about an 1" if I do my part. But all my shots are close so accuracy isn't an issue for me, but It is a thumper.
My friend purchased one as well with the same out of the box accuracy. I managed to get one that also included the open sights as well (Love it). The only thing that I didn't find to my liking was the trigger. It seems to be a hit or miss there. My friends was good but mine has ALOT of creep to it. Since I like the rifle so much, I went with the Timney trigger and no regrets at all. I have it set to 2lbs and no complaints. For the initial investment of $300 for the rifle with free delivery to my ffl, I feel that it was a steal. I won't be selling it any time soon. I forgot to add that the rifle is a breeze to carry all day as well. It's the perfect compact rifle in the woods.

Oh, in that case we're insulted.
When I saw 260gr bullets my first thought was oh no, those awful Remington Accutips are still out there.
Hopefully they're not steel cased like some of the other Herter's calibers. George Herter would roll over in his grave if he saw what became of his company's name. Just my opinion...
