[QUOTE="MNbogboy, post: 1772905, member: 18849"] Here is a Wilson barrel chambered by a reputable dealer that I purchased on ebay. This was shouldered & chambered for a 700 and test fired by the dealer and he told me the chamber was "perfect". He would not refund my money but only credit me on another purchase from him. As my rage got the best of me I headspaced it for my 700 and shot it to prove a point....surprised me....actually shot pretty fair for that ugly of a chamber. I attribute it to Wilson's hand lapping not the dealer. Another story I shortened a Shaw 6.5-06 once from 24 to 19". The bore was .008" off center at the muzzle after the cut. I rechambered it to 6.5/257 Bob A.I. then indexed the curvature to shoot 12:00 and did not have enough moa in a Bushnell elite to zero. After switching scopes it turned out to be 1/2 moa. Since I have set it back and rechambered it to 6.5 CM and it still shoots 1/2 moa. My suggestion is to give yours a chance. Try it with your new scope. Work up a couple of different bullet/powder combos....You can take pride in your work and eventually be able to brag about it. [/QUOTE]
