[QUOTE="Nimrod, post: 576994, member: 6327"] Sorry I took so long to get back, I just got home from work. I see you are getting some good advise from some of the other members. I am new to the long range game myself, (unless you want to count Naval gunfire support :) ). I am not new to precision shooting, or custom rifles. I do most of my own gun work but on occasion will have something done by a professional smith. When I do, farm something out I try to find someone who is a specialist at whatever I want to have done. I personally think that fire lapping is best used as a last ditch effort to get some use out of an otherwise junk barrel. I personally wouldn't bother spending the money on the kit, I would just order a new barrel but since I'm able to do the fitting and chambering myself it would only cost me half as much as it might if I had to have it done. There are folks on this forum that specialize in building long range rifles, they build them for a living and they are experts at the craft. I don't know who you are talking to about building your gun but unless you specified a Weatherby action, I really can't see why anybody would want to use one for a long range build. Not to downgrade the Weatherby but I think there are easier ways to get where you want to go. Do some reading here and keep asking questions, you have a wealth of information at your fingertips.
