[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 418766, member: 24284"] When the work is done properly, by a knowlegable 'smith, you'll have good shooter capable of 1/2" or better groups from a bench. Handloads , taylored to the rifle, are a plus. Factory barrels are just not made with the care custom barrels are. Add custom threading, chambering, and crowning to that custom barrel and it'll make you a fine hunting rifle. :D I'll go on to add that truing and a custom barrel aren't the "cure all". Proper bedding (I see more rifles that don't shoot with bedding problems than any other problem, other than the [I]shooter[/I]), a crisp trigger, and quality optics are must haves. [/QUOTE]
