Most accurate off the shelf out of probably 12 that i have owned would be a pre airforce raw and a impact mk2

If I qualify best to mean:
1. Needed nothing done to it out of the box to make it better (like Marauder, gen 1 Gauntlet, etc....some would even say more expensive guns like Impact)
2. High quality construction
3. Accurate
4. Efficient with air
I would say the best rifle I own in that regard (or have ever owned) is my AA S510XS FAC .22. Second place is a tie between my BSA Scorpion SE .177 and Daystate Huntsman Regal .22 (unregged). The Regal would get the bump for pretty, since my BSA is in a good quality but unattractive synthetic stock.

.25 Daystate Red Wolf HP. Bought mine late August 2022 off the shelf, came in 3rd out of 110 shooters in Pro Class at EBR 2022 100Y BR. Off the shelf and onto the podium. Can’t beat that….

Daystate Huntsman Revere .22 for a hunting rifle was perfect out of the box. Then Daystate Wolverine .177 came set perfect for HFT, right at 19.3 ft lbs.

Will have to cheat a little, as I did do minor things to both these, but neither needed trigger fiddling, or regulator adjusting, "tuning" or extensive barrel massaging. Of airguns I've owned these two have been my most close to pure "out of the box" high level performers.
Taipan Veteran Short-reduced the hammer tension when received but otherwise shot it as it came out of the box for probably 3 years. Has since been rebarreled to a .20, as has been documented elsewhere here on AGN. Didn't "need" the rebarrel, I just wanted a .20 Vet and I love it even more as a .20.
Mac1 USFT-JB bore pasted the barrel about the same time i figured out the barrel prefers a specific lube so not sure the JB was necessary. Also added a moderator adaptor. Other than that JB treatment and the mod adapter, still shooting it as it came. It's been six years and I haven't been inside it yet.
Neither of these will ever be sold. They both shoot at that "special" level that ain't often stumbled across. Exceptional experience with both of them.

I know there are tons of mods like the Pitbull and all of that but I have done nothing to my Benjamin bulldog besides add a scope and a strap to carry it. Very accurate and shoots every time, plenty of power for what I use it for. Right out of the box without any of the special tunings, it will kill a deer or hog as long as you know how to aim and hit.

RAW 1000x LRT .22. No trigger adjustment or power adjustment and accurate right out of the box. .25 Red Wolf would have been right with it, but the trigger was too light for me and had to be adjusted.
