No, never read any Stephen Hunter. I've read "Marine Sniper" though, about the life and Vietnam experiences of Marine Gunner Sergeant Carlos Hathcock. Most of the time he used either a Winchester Model 70 or a Remington Model 700.

The Tactical Operations Tango 51 is built on a Model 700 action and is guranteed to .25 MOA accuracy. That's pretty amazing. The best that Remington will offer you for out of the box accuracy for a regular 700 is usually somewhere around 1 MOA. Here's that link:

Here's the picture!


It's a pretty amazing rifle in my opinion. For the regular deer hunter, you would have no reason for that kind of accuracy. 1 MOA is more than accurate enough for a good kill shot at 100 - 200 yards. This thing is designed to reach out and touch someone between 300 - 1000 yards!
