[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 826379, member: 12995"] West, that sucks about your experience...But that's honestly not a reason to blame Remington, if the barrel maker screwed the pooch. I can understand your frustration. I had an old 200th Anniversary Ruger 77 .220 Swift, and while it was an awesome cold bore rifle, the ones following it wouldn't hit the broad side of crap. I traded it to a co-worker who wanted it for a custom Model 7 that needed a rebarrel. We were both happy, so it worked out. Yes I do have a semi-local smith. I know him very well. Been doing business with him for 11 years now. He told me that I can get a Douglas Air-Gauged blank, chambered, and fitted to my action, bedded, floated, and the action trued for around $750. Granted, that's my price on it, but I'm also a loyal repeat customer. Yes, I'm lucky my smith is semi-local. He's an old guy who's been smithing since he was about 18-20, and he's probably mid 70's now. He knows his stuff like nobody I' e ever seen. He still uses old school equipment, too. And his precision level is insane. [/QUOTE]
