[QUOTE="Jud96, post: 1838955, member: 69478"] They are if they’re operated correctly. If the operator doesn’t check the work he’s producing and adjust the wear offsets on the tools, the inserts and tools can and will wear and cause minor differences. A CNC can produce extremely consistent and tight tolerances, but the machine is only as good as the machinist running it and the tools loaded in it. If every piece of the rifle isn’t machined perfect, than tolerances will just stack up like JE said. Surprisingly, the recent 700 actions have excellent tolerances on the receivers. The primary extraction still sucks on some of them, but the tolerances are really good. This is info coming from my smith who has inspected dozens of new 700 actions and he’s as impressed with them as I am. [/QUOTE]
