[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1712923, member: 2736"] I don't think anyone can eliminate deviation from Perfect, But if you reach the limit of your measuring tools (Normally they will go down to .0000 and some will go to .00000) the lathes will not do any better than that unless they are special. The idea is like you said, to remove as much error as you can. I have seen rifles that had totals of more than .015 to .020 thousandths error. Some cancel others out and some minimized others, so the more errors you remove, the better the results. Even before this sport came along, some were satisfied with a Minute of Deer accuracy and many were not. there are still many that will settle for 2 MOA because of the distance they hunt and that's ok as long as they stay under 100 yards. remember, just because the rifle will shoot 2 MOA doesn't mean that in a hunting situation the shooter will do as well. normally the shooter contributes another 30% to the accuracy and it becomes 3 MOA if lucky. Most of My instruments will measure down to 1 10 thousandths (.00010 and a couple will go to .000100 thousandths but they are very hard to use on somethings and most shop machines won't hold that tolerance. So as said, any improvements are a plus and by the chance you get a precision barrel and nail all the truing, and load great ammo + you have an outstanding day at the range, the rifle and all of your work will have paid off with some unbelievable accuracy. As one of the site sages likes to say, "You cant make a silk purse out of a sows ear" Blueprinting can't guaranty a 1/4 MOA rifle, but combined with other well done elements it sure goes a long way.
