Modern rifles are pretty good these days. It's more about the quality of the bullet, imo.
I took a long range precision shooting class a few years ago, using my stock Savage M110 (.30-'06) and hit the 1000M gong 6 out of 10 times. But I built the bullet. It took more than a dozen test ladders, iirc to find the right combination of projectile, powder, charge weight, etc. That was about two months of building and firing test bullets, I think. But none of the factory bullets I tried were acceptable, imo, so I ended up building one.
