[QUOTE="keithcandler, post: 1770574, member: 3728"] Since the gun was shooting in the 2's with 120's and 1/2 MOA with the 165's, I would not spend a penny on truing the action. New barrel time. However, a lot of what we do is for our own confidence in chasing perfection. Also, a lot of gunsmiths will not install a new barrel without truing the action, you maybe stuck with that also. A 4 groove 8.5Twist in a Krieger or Bartlin would be awesome. I am not much on 5 R due to how the reamer pilot rides the tops of the lands and may chatter in the throat, particularly in 7mm. There are a LOT of gunsmiths that will not chamber a 5 R barrel, and if there is a screw up, they use a spiral throating reamer to clean it up, or they just ship it to you with a hope and a prayer that you don't catch the problem. Mike, you can save yourself a lot of problems by using your long range hunting rifle as a single shot or a two shot or have a Long Wyatt's mag box installed. [/QUOTE]
