[QUOTE="AJ Peacock, post: 180980, member: 4885"] Happy Holidays everyone, I've been doing a lot of reading about gunsmithing and have a question. I understand that for extreme accuracy, a barrel is timed so the natural arc of the bore is pointing directly up at the muzzle. My question is, how much difference does it make? For example, with a Savage and barrel nut configuration, the headspace is set with barrel turn so timing the barrel is impossible. It make sense in my mind to have a barrel timed for ultimate precision. Maybe this is one of the reasons that gunsmiths like to setup Savage's in the same way that other actions are setup (with a shoulder and no barrel nut)? Just curious if anyone has any objective observations, or is timing the barrel one of those things that is 'just done'? AJ [/QUOTE]
