[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 925195, member: 11717"] I don't think there is really a whole lot we can do to make a barrel shoot any better, be it a custom or factory barrel. Rifles yes, barrels no. There is a lot that goes into the making of a barrel that will affect it's accuracy potential. Rifling tooling and methods, proper stress relieving, bore straightness, lapping chamber concentricity, etc. The custom barrel makers put a lot more effort into these areas than the factory barrel makers. That is why they cost so much more. You get what you pay for. By the time they get to us they are what they are. Now we can condition barrels to foul a little less by breaking them in, but I don't think we can do anything that will significantly change accuracy. [/QUOTE]
