[QUOTE="25WSM, post: 1788924, member: 38048"] After doing this for 30 yrs and handling barrels from alot of great benchrest Smith's I think a little jiggle room is perfect. You want enough room in the tennon to let the shoulders to square up and not have any bind. If the threads in the action are perfectly square to the center line I believe you can make a tighter fit. I have seen rifles that shoot in the 1s consistently that had threads so loose I laughed. I fully believe square shoulder true to center and action face true to center is the most important thing. The 60 degree threads when torqued will self center on each other. These are my thoughts on the subject after discussing this with Jim Borden and Greg Tannel and they essentially said you need to have enough play in threads for shoulder to square up. Shep [/QUOTE]
