[QUOTE="GPR23, post: 1758597, member: 104192"] I thought i would update this thread. I ended up getting an X-caliber barrel. After many suggestions to talk with Crown Ridge Barrel Works I emailed asking many questions, then called on the phone to ask even more questions. I have had several very bad experiences with gun smiths in the past and it makes me leery. After talking with Anthony on the phone i decided to order up one of his barrels. He didn't have exactly what i wanted in stock but had a blank, and spun it up to my specs in a couple days. Once i received it i had issues getting it on my action. Turns out the last gun smith that was suppose to true/chase the threads did not.... Talked with Anthony and he was more than happy to bend over backwards and help me out. I shipped him my action and he completely worked it over, trued it up, and fixed some nagging issues on it. He turned it around in less than a day for me! I have been very excited to get the barrel on and shoot the gun. It all went on smoothly and this time everything fit like it should! I went out and shot it this morning siting in the scope. I only put a box of 20 threw the gun, and here is the result so far. The top right target is the last 3 rounds of the box. This is with factory Hornady ammo. I hope this trend continues. (the other groups i was just trying to see where i was at as i zero it. A couple random shots in there were the first shots I got on paper) I owe Anthony at Crown Ridge Barrel Works huge thank you!!!! Not only did he fix an action I thought was going to be trashed, but he did so very quickly. Also I am very particular about quality work. His gun smithing and barrel work is second to none, and his customer service is even better!!!! I have seen barrels and gun smiths work from many different places. I would rank his with the best out there, truly impressive! [/QUOTE]
