[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 959104, member: 12995"] A worked-over factory Remington 700 Varmint 1:12 .308 Win barrel, that had the chamber opened up to .30-06 AI. Shoulder was trued, lug was surfaced, threads chased, bore lapped, re-centered & re-crowned with a recessed target crown, and then re-fitted to a fully trued & worked 700 action. My fire-forming loads were shooting 5/8 to 1 MOA (varied) @ 100, and they were just thrown-together, powder dumped, lightly-charged, and cheap bullets at a random seating depth... Can't wait to see what it will do with some velocity behind those Bergers and my precison loads. Don't knock worked-over factory Remington barrels...With an experienced smith knowing the secrets to getting them to shoot, they are an inexpensive option compared to a custom barrel. I have several worked and factory untouched Rem heavy barrels that will shoot in sub-.250" group range with handloads. My factory Rem 700 5R .308 will shoot consistant .300-.350" groups with my 210 Berger VLD load. [/QUOTE]
