[QUOTE="Engineering101, post: 937930, member: 63138"] Now I see where you are going with this. A few years back, I had my local gunsmith put a new barrel on my Sako 30-06. I choose a 26" number 4 Kreiger heavy sporter. I had shot out the original barrel using it on everything from elk to varmits. I also had him true the action (not that a Sako needs much). He also widened the barrel channel, bedded the action and reblued the whole thing. Turned out great and the last 3-shot group at 200 yards ran 0.812". I was probably the limiting factor on that as I don't see all that good anymore. It took many months and cost me about what you mentioned. If you have your smith do all that, it will shoot better than you need. [/QUOTE]
