My old Remington model 722, .257 Roberts caliber, could compete with that...Only "trick" on the gun is glass bedding by a competent smith. I have it tuned to hit a bit high @100 yards...(edit) IMO, Jeff nailed it though. Tight groups from a bench are one thing...taking a deer or an elk in the field is another.
If I were looking for another field gun? Think I'd be eyeballing the Steyer Scout in .308. 2.5 power intermediate eye relief scope by leupold would never allow groups that tight, but out to 200 yards or so, you'd definitely group tight enough to bag what you were after, while both eyes open allowing you to be on target quickly.
Jeff said it well. Rifles are a bit like cars...it all depends on what your game is.
