[QUOTE="devildoc, post: 277434, member: 5615"] I have a tough time believing that a match grade barrel would not show significant improvement over the factory hammer-forged *** that comes on most factory rifles. I have a 6mmAI that I had fit&chambered to a all factory REM 700 VLS action and bedded into a H-S sporter that shoots like a barn on fire. Maybe I got lucky, the rifle did shoot respectably (under 1 MOA) as a stock 6mm VLS. But I have a tough time believing that the fact that I had a top notch barrel installed with the chamber cut with a piloted reamer wasn't at least mostly responsible for the accuracy gains I observed after I got it back. I'm curious as to what damage you would be doing? At worst you could blueprint the action and have the barrel set back at a later point if accuracy was sub-par. [/QUOTE]
