What kind of accuracy do you typically see from the early flat bolt action rifles? Thanks in advance for your reply. Lee

Depends, but can be really good with a good load and good shooter.
Just me speaking but if you recently purchased it. I would do a tear down of the rifle, clean and inspect the heck out of it using a top quality copper cleaner before any range time.

My flatbolt .308 is very accurate. I have on several occasions shot 5-shot groups under an inch with my handloads. It especially likes the 150 grain Sierra Game King and has produced groups in the 5/8" range with this bullet and Reloder 15 powder.
OP
Thanks to 6GUNS and kmoore for your quick and honest replies. My only experience was with a flat bolt in 243 Win. many years ago. I would shoot minute of deer at 100 yds but that was about the best it would do. BUT that was only one rifle a long time ago.
Thanks, again, Lee

.25-06 shoots less than an inch with factory Federals.
