[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 859913, member: 2736"] None Taken Shawn. With the range rods in the bore "on each end" if you move the indicator and it changes you are right. it is not a straight bore and depending how long your rang rods are the barrel run out will be more than the reading. With the new technology , a good barrel maker can do amazing things with a barrel and produce consistent quality If he wants to. Straight bores are not as hard to produce now as in the past when barrel straightening was the norm, and an art of it's own. As far as experience goes you may have more than I do. I just demand the best quality I can get because it helps me. (As a Sage gunsmith on this site says, "You cant make a silk purse out of a sows ear". There are many ways to do things and I only use the ones that work for me. I don't claim to be able to take a poor quality part and make it work great, so I don't use them. With this philosophy I have been able to produce sub 1/2 MOA rifles consistently with most shooting under 1/4 MOA and some under 1/10th MOA. (4 of my personal hunting rifles will shoot under 1/10th MOA). If I had to make a living at this ,I would probably starve because I take so long to set everything up before I start, but being retired I can afford this luxury. Enough Said. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
