[QUOTE="Bang4theBuck, post: 3074171, member: 73596"] I've built dozens of rifles using the remage style arrangement. In every case, the rifle outperformed the factory barrel, significantly. I have yet to assemble one that won't shoot 1/2 moa. Most are better with finely tuned handloads. I believe that you are asking if installing a remage barrel on a remington action with no improvements would be equivalent in accuracy to one that had been trued (blueprinted). I would say that is a definite 'maybe', but I wouldn't count on it. There are a lot of guys who think they are excellent shooters, when really their definition of excellent is just average. On the other hand some guys won't settle until their rifle and load will shoot sub 1/4 min accuracy, or better. So, if you are good with shooting 1/2 min accuracy (1/2" groups at 100, 1" groups at 200, 2.5" groups at 500) I woukd be confident in saying that the remage set up will deliver that, if you are capable of shooting that good. Your best and most cost effective approach is to call James and Northland Shooters Supply and have him walk you through the tools and barrel components you'll need. It is very satisfying rebarreling on your own, and seeing good results. Feel free to reach out via PM if you have any questions. [/QUOTE]
