I'm going to set this one out :) But I will say, as for accuracy, it's that Old Fart driving that clunker of a truck who can't hit squat who always gets the big one! LOL!

CZ's are very accurate, I have one in a 22-250. For a stock trigger It is the best I have felt. I love the two stage trigger

If you have a capable shooter holding any one of those guns these days, you're gonna have a damn accurate rifle. Every one of those brands should shoot sub-moa out of the box or very very close. I might venture out and say Sako provides very impressive consistency and has some fantastic craftsmanship. Kimber falls into that same category. That's just my two cents..

Sako for consistency and price/value.

I have a Savage 22-250. I use for ground-hogs and I'm really happy with. But that's just me.

HunterDue,
You didn't mention what (class of) cartridge you are considering but, with the understanding that every rifle is a rule unto itself, the most accurate factory rifle I've owned was a Sako L461 "Vixen" heavy barreled varminter in .222 Rem. However, the "state of the art" in production rifles - certainly among the brands you mentioned - places the burden of accuracy primarily on the shooter. Accuracy levels are very comparable among these rifles. If your priority is accuracy, it'll require the services of a competent gunsmith and a premium barrel (Hart, Shilen, Lilja, etc.). I'm a varminter and, since you've expressed accuracy as a high priority, I infer that varminting is your intention as well, but I think all of the brands you've mentioned will provide praiseworthy accuracy in sporterweight, medium-game rifles.

Kimber and Sako are probably the all around best of the list, but Savage is making the most accurate factory rifles around now.

All these put out some rifles that are highly accurate. Its too bad you can't test drive the one you want to buy. Each of them puts out a real tack driver once in a while. My brother bought a Rem700 SPS Tactical that puts .308 Barnes 168g TSX bullets through the same hole at 100 yards. Darned hard to beat! I see a lot of them at that bench rest lines but don't see too many of the others.

My pick out of those would be the Savage our the Kimber. Not that the others are worse, I prefer Remington's, but the others are to discriminatory towards left-handed shooters. Yes they offer left-handed rifles, but they are usually at least $100 more than the exact model in Right-hand. Savage and Kimber however offer all-most (but not every) one of their models in Left-hand for the SAME price. I know it has nothing to do with accuracy or quality, but there is very little separating any of these companies in those categories. So please do your left-handed brethren a favor and support those who support us. That being said, what about the T/C Pro-Hunter.
