[QUOTE="ATH, post: 387003, member: 1656"] Most people would be better served to bed a gun, adjust the trigger and optimize reloads then shoot the factory barrel out before dropping big dollars on custom work. Bedding will take you 2-3 evenings and cost $15-$30 (with pillars) and may make it a sub-MOA gun. This winter I took a cheapo Savage package gun that shot 2-3" with the first couple loads I tried and dropped it into a new stock, bedded it, added a $60 trigger, and worked up loads properly. Now it shoots .6-.8" consistently. I don't like the sporter barrel but for the price I will shoot it out before I do anything else. Custom guns are nice, I'll have one someday. However for the money, it is hard to rationally justify the value for the small increase in accuracy. Now in certain situations and for certain cartridges there are reasons to start there, but not for most of us. [/QUOTE]
