[QUOTE="rpierce, post: 1150484, member: 20643"] I agree that shooters follow the leader to an extent. I also know quite a few top shooters who don't disclose their secrets either. Some will also intentionally mislead you as to their techniques. Your correct that we are very fortunate to have a very wide array of quality components as this does give us options to choose from. As far as payouts for winning big matches for fclass its a joke. If I win 1st at nationals I won't even win enough to cover the expenses of the trip. Youll win a nightforce scope and a few bullets. Big whoop in the grand scheme of things considering all the money you spent to get there and shoot. Not including all the other matches you shot that year to prepare for it. I got 2nd at the midrange nationals at Camp Perry last year and won a 100 dollars worth of NRA points to spend on the NRA store, :rolleyes:. Match entry fees were 250 dollars. The other time I got 2nd at a national championship I got a couple medals and a few hundred bullets. Entry fees were 250 bucks or so at that one as well. Again pretty small potatoes for prizes. Tom: Were you measuring straightness of the OD then? I was talking about the ID. ID is easily inspected by indicating the breech and muzzle end on the ID. Being careful when tightening down the spider on both sides so as not to bend the barrel and distort results. I then turn the lathe on to 130 rpm. Bore straightness is then easily seen by looking down the barrel. That crooked barrel I received and returned looked like a rainbow inside. It was so bad I actually took a video of it. Ryan [/QUOTE]
