[QUOTE="jrock, post: 963277, member: 78569"] I really appreciate the advise. I have a Rem 700 SPS that doesn't shoot as well as I expected so that was the cause of all this machining talk. Truing up the action, squaring the bolt face, etc. is easy work. I like the old barrel idea, but would need a new lathe with a longer bed to do that. I have done about everything on a rifle that can be done without machining so it's the next step in my interest. I don't plan to make a profit considering all that has been said and my intentions. I mainly wanted to see if I could break even over the next 15 years on the cost of tooling up to justify the cost of a larger lathe. [/QUOTE]
