[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1006100, member: 2736"] +1 Something to think about. First The barrel, few if any shop's that chamber and thread barrels to sell (That don't do the complete job) use premium barrels. And if your rifle doesn't perform well, you have no recourse to get it fixed because everyone blames the other. This doesn't mean that they cant do a good job, it's just the odds are not as good. Most of the poor performing rifles I see fall in to these categories , Poor barrel quality, poor chambering, work charged but not done, and mainly just poor workmanship in general. Do as Hired Gun recommended. Find a trusted and known gun smith and work with him to get what you want and expect for your money. He has a vested interested in the quality of your project and can/will be held responsible for the quality. One other thing, even some of the better barrel makers often do poor work when they chamber and thread there barrels. Most good Gunsmiths don't need to drum up business, but they do end up fixing pre chambered barrels quite often. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
