[QUOTE="gerpwaller, post: 2922404, member: 103698"] My Smith installed the the barrel on the first rifle, verified the accuracy with the 5 round groups (before the hornady you groups are too small podcast) and then removed it. There are some extenuating circumstance that ended up with me getting the barrel but they had nothing to do with it not shooting. Otherwise I totally agree, if it seems too good to be true it probably is. I have tested it (although not as extensively) with gmm and it behaved similarily. I will do a cold bore test with the GMM. I will also verify all the action screws and everything else is torqued. If I get teh same results I will fully cede that it is the barrel. Yes he machined the outer diameter of the shank down to fit the tikka action. I think he had to take down a bit of the carbon as well to smooth out the transition. [/QUOTE]
