I'll add another vote for the BTVS, but if one of the others floats your boat -- then you may want to consider that too. From what I've read, there's "good" and "great" within each model, but I'd bet with some tweaking and load development -- and with good bench gear and technique -- you could get either model to shoot well.

I would suggest you consider spending as much, or almost as much, on getting "good glass" if you're really serious about excellent accuracy.

And using good ammo helps too, Wolf Match Target does well for my needs.

Tight groups.
