[QUOTE="Apex Custom Rifles, post: 2709944, member: 19307"] Was this after the 2nd attempt and grinding out the material under the barrel? Good job! Everyone needs to remember that it's an improvement from where it began with a factory rifle. Could it be better, yeah, does it need to be? Up to the individual. You'll probably get an itch now that you've started on a path for better accuracy. With a practiced shooter a 1 MOA gun will still nail an elk at 500 yards. Everyone's accuracy needs are different. Mine are half that or better, but we are talking two different levels of expectations. Your goal was to make it shoot better which it looks like you achieved and had a well placed shot on your deer. Good job. I wish I had photos of all the "first timers" bedding, threading, or chamber jobs that didn't look pretty, but they worked as intended and were vast improvements for each person. While I wish everyone would send me their rifles to get bedded, barreled, etc, I commend the guys that want to learn how to do it themselves. Keep at it, read as much as you can, take in as much info as you can and if you do it again, or anything else for that matter, you'll have a better idea of what to do. I modify my procedures from time to time to try and achieve perfection. The only time you should stop learning is when you're dead. I learned the other day that if you take a orange tootsie roll and a vanilla one together at the same time, you get an orange Creamsicle flavor one.... who knew! [/QUOTE]
