    I think it boils done to rifle fit (if all other quality features are a given). Some rifles just seam to be a perfect fit for the shooter, with this comes confidence and with confidence comes consistency.

    Having owned many rifles over the years, my only advice is once you find a rifle that ticks all the boxes for you...ffs don't sell it, as you'll deeply regret it.

    Out of the hundreds (no exaggeration) of rifles I've owned over the past 25 years only about 4 have fit me perfectly. I only have one of those in my possession now, and due to the addition of a 15MOA high rail been added... it no longer fits perfectly like it once did with ultra low rings. It was mentioned above that natural point of aim should occur, not an adjustment to your position to force it on target - to me, that's the definition of a good fit.
