[QUOTE="Boe, post: 2338570, member: 25890"] [B]I have had rifles come in my shop that have been chambered by the barrel manufacturer. I have yet to see a concentric throat in one . Most throats I borescoped were crooked as a do it yourself haircut. I'm not knocking barrel manufacturers machining skills. The top barrel makers do a great job manufacturing barrels. That's what they specialize in. We all have our specialties. My suggestion with 28 years in this business is, Choose one of the top barrel and Action manufacturers for your next build, Then choose a good Riflesmith to do the machining . A good Riflesmith is going to take the time to make sure you get a concentric chamber in your new barrel. You'll be glad you did. He has his own business and every barrel that leaves his shop has his name on it. You won't stay in business very long doing subpar work. You get what you pay for in this business.
