[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 103702, member: 12"] Bart Understand "you" are not convinced, but lot of guys that shoot little bitty groups all the time are. Until the advent of large custom actions such as the 10" BAT that is 2" in diameter, almost all the Heavy guns in 1000 yard BR were barrel block guns and still majority of barrel block guns being built especially with the longer barrels. Historically 1k Heavy guns have shot the smallest offical recorded groups of any competitions. However, there is now a new practice coming on that is going to the straight barrels of much smaller diameter that are "slugged" for proper bore dimensions of the bore and most importantly the muzzle end (ie jug choke) and exact crown points and tuners. You are correct, if you order the exact same contour barrel every time you can normally drop in and tighten the action screws down. That is assuming the contour is exact and it matches perfectly the bedding in front of the rcvr that most smiths use. BH [/QUOTE]
