[QUOTE="Bulseyetom, post: 353083, member: 14766"] I believe it was on 6mmBR but maybe Benchrest.com a month or so back where somebody had a picture of a custom 78 that was a true one holer! My out of the box 78 in 25-06 is about 3/4 moa and I bought one for my hunting partner that is probably 1/2 moa. If you can find the owner of the rifle I saw online he could point you in the right direction as he had pictures of his groups that would shame most bolt guns. I remember he said Kreiger set up the tooling for his octagon barrel and would never do it again as it was so expensive so maybe a call to Kreiger would get you started. I cannot remember who his gunsmith was. Good luck with your project. My 78 is my hunting rifle of choice and the only time it ever failed me was when I fell and got snow in the action and the hammer froze! I thought I was going to have to build a fire to thaw it enough to fire but working it for about two minutes got it where it would work most of the time. 15 minutes later I killed the biggest mulie I have ever taken. I was sure glad that the gun fired when I pulled the trigger! Tom gun) [/QUOTE]
