Does a gunsmith know when a barrel will shoot?

[QUOTE="DakotaFire101, post: 3069890, member: 81053"] The use of quality components goes a long way. That's why most builders including myself find components that work consistently well and that they can stand behind being a precise product. Checking the total runout between the chamber, throat and bore will give a pretty decent idea, as well as checking your bedding with an indicator to ensure a truly stress free bedding job. That being said I have thrown together "leftover parts" guns that usually consist of a remington 700 action and a $150 barrel from brownells that were absolute shooters. I hunted for many years with a 7mm mag that was built just that way and there's a lot of critters that met they're end a hell of a long way from the muzzle of that gun. [/QUOTE]
