[QUOTE="Hired Gun, post: 1158052, member: 1290"] The prices and advice is all spot on so far. I would like to add this for consideration. On a scale of rifle accuracy factors with a factory action 5% or less comes from a trued action. Means a 1 MOA gun might shoot .95 MOA if that is all that is done. A high quality free floating barrel, stress free bedding, a clean sharp crown, a chamber perfectly square and concentric to the bore where the bullet engages the rifling, a crisp light trigger and high quality optics mounted stress free on really solid mounts account for about 50-70%. The rest comes from tuned super consistent concentric high quality ammo. That means a lot more than just weighing powder charges. Then consider anywhere from 30% to 90% is your shooting ability and that is a much too large of topic at this point. Steady cross hairs is a very small part of this equation. Just sayin'. I know a guy with a solid 1/4 MOA rifle at 200 yards and the best he can shoot it consistently is 2MOA. Shooting some rim fire matches helped my technique a ton. Until you are ready for a barrel, lapping your lugs with the firing pin and trigger assembly removed will get you as much as a trued action at this point. Sorry for the long post but I love the sport so much I just want to help as much as I can and sometime over do it. Shawn [/QUOTE]
