[QUOTE="hammertyme, post: 504862, member: 12863"] One must answer the question themselves as to what the tool is going to be used for and to what accuracy one is after. I have a number of factory Savage barrels that a $400. custom barrel will not beat unless we are talking about benchrest accuracy. Truing an action allows one to feel that they have done everything they can do to squeeze out the last piece of accuracy possible from that action. I quit truing years ago because for me a bughole is a bughole group and for my needs .250 and under groups are good enough. If you can screw a barrel down on a go gauge and lock the barrel nut down tight in my opinion one does not need a smith. Jim @ Northland Shooters Supply i Minn has taken the Savage nut system and applied it to Remington as well. He has barrels from Criterion/Kreiger pre-threaded and sells the nuts as well. In my opinion the Savage mass produced actions are one of the truer actions without going to custom. Just some experienced thoughts to mull over. Sure are a lot of Savage factory rigs winning these days. Specifically speaking of the Worlds competition last year where two team members were shooting stock Savages all the way. Neal [/QUOTE]
