[QUOTE="Autorotate, post: 391434, member: 8073"] For as good as it looks it shoots even better:) The action was a donor from a 300 Wby Synthetic. JE Custom sprinkled his magic blue print pixie dust on the action as part of the build. It enables the gun to shoot Sub MOA at 1/2 mile+ with the shooters eyes closed, in wind conditions of 20kt gusting to 30 kts and mirage....But he charges extra for the pixie dust:) On a serious note...most accomplished long range shooters will think a rebarrel without some action blueprint work to be a waste of money. Most "full monty" blueprint/action truing jobs are on par with the price of a fluted custom barrel, and in order to give your rifle build it's best accuracy potential, most precision long range hunters/shooters would advise you to have that work done when re-barreling. Action blueprinting specifics will vary from smith to smith, but smiths that build precision long range rifles are very likely to agree with what a blueprint is, especially once you specify your accuracy goals with them. I would discuss your goals with three different smiths (build weight, max eff range vs. intended critter, and your budget), and see which one fits you the best. Ask 'em if you can't just send them the link to this thread, or this [URL="http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/f53/7-stw-51585/"][B][U]7STW thread[/U][/B][/URL], and ask how to take your gun from where it's at to one of those, or some twist variant of. Both of these rifles would make fantastic carry rifle build blueprints to tweak your build from. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
