[QUOTE="Garycrow, post: 1141631, member: 30743"] Because tolerances stack and .0001" here then .0001" there adds up. While it's true that .0001" in one place might not make any difference in a sporter weight rifle, it shows a lackadaisical attitude in general on the part of the gunsmith if he accepts that. I don't want a gunsmith with a lackadaisical attitude, I want and am paying for perfection. That's why I use the best barrels and best gunsmiths I can find. If I was OK with a rifle with loose tolerances I'd stick with a factory rifle and save my money. The minute I hear a gunsmith say something like "it's only a sporter, it won't matter" or "a shaw is just as good as a bartlein for a sporter" then I scratch him off my list. I want him to treat my rifle no differently than a BR rifle. [/QUOTE]
