[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 698965, member: 1521"] fmajor, you're livin a rosey world man. And good for you. But let me tell how it is in my world: Until a gun & load & scope proves to be an accurate combo -it isn't. Best builder in the world is still rolling the dice on barrels. He don't know at all that 'we' can reload or load develop to his build's potential. Until HE verifies it, he don't know that your scope holds zero or tracks at what value. He don't know that your firing pin strike is right, regardless of the trigger chosen, until he's measured it with overall action timing. He don't know how you'll shoot the gun. He don't know what lot your barrel is coming from. These are things a gunbuilder, like anyone else, has to work out. Many have & they'll sell you their best. Many have not & they'll sell you their best/worst at the same rate, as they are built exactly the same from their perspective & efforts. Be careful to weed through even the big name gunbuilders for someone who will prove YOUR build shoots, and exactly how well(with all qualifiers detailed), -before mailing it out. I was fortunate to get a Tubb2000 within 1.5yrs of ordering. By the time I NF scoped it & invested in reloading components/tools for it, I had a good chunk of change in it. The gun grouped well under 1/2moa, but despite my efforts ended up the least 'accurate' of my guns(which made it useless for LR hunting). So I recently sold it to a competitor at ~$2K loss. And I won't be rolling the dice like that anymore... [/QUOTE]
