[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1234936, member: 10291"] Very interesting thread! I own LRH rifles in all three action forms that produce accuracy of .25MOA or better. Given a properly tried/squared action, the bulk of the performance is produced by the barrel/load. Accuracy takes on a different meaning when you begin to evaluate the rifle for holding zero, and precision shooting clean, dirty, hot, or cold, for many successive shots on different days or even months or years later. With this accuracy criteria, I think the dimensions and fitting of the action, barrel, and chamber work becomes more important. While there.may be some exceptions, to have a factory rifle do this is a crap shoot. All other aspects(load, bedding, scope, skill, etc.) being equal, my experience has been that if a good gunsmith trues/squares and correctly chambers the barreled action with a quality barrel fitted to a custom action OR one of the usual factory actions in good condition, you will have an excellent chance of meeting the above criteria. While the custom/Benchrest actions will certainly hold their value and make for a more impressive build, I think that unlike the Benchrest game, the subtle performance differences are lost in LRH. IMO. [/QUOTE]
