[QUOTE="engineer40, post: 1234442, member: 90399"] I've seen a couple 721's shoot exceptionally well myself. I always keep my eye out for a good deal on them. I have no science or math or proof. Only an opinion. The 20% that gets 80% of the accuracy results: 1 - Reloading 2 - Bedding stock 3 - Free floating barrels. After that, things get expensive quick. Once again, just my opinion, I doubt that a blueprinted action is going to gain you much more than 0.10 of an inch better groups at 100 yards. That's actually a lot to expect from blueprinting and truing. If you've already done the big 3 (listed above) that everybody does, chances are good that you are shooting close to a half inch group at 100 yards. So to pick up another 0.10 of an inch is a 20% gain in accuracy. I just don't see that happening very often unless something is seriously out of square with the action. Obviously there are always exceptions. :) [/QUOTE]
