[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 762728, member: 2736"] In my experance a good shooting rifle has a good barrel and the trueness is fairly good. A poorly smithed rifle will normally shoot poorly even with a good barrel. It takes a good barrel, good smithing and good loads + a good shooter to make an exceptional rifle but in my opinion the heart of a good rifle is the barrel. you can be a top marksman and have the best smith and loads, and with a poor barrel it still will not shoot great. Just changing the barrel does not guarantee accuracy but it is part of the system and in most cases a good after market barrel will improve the accuracy. At some point one component may only make a difference of .050 thousandths but enough of these improvements can take a 1/2 MOA rifle to a 1/10th MOA rifle. As far as truing , I have never found a factory action that was perfict and did not need some truing. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
