[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1235000, member: 2736"] In my opinion, The main advantage to having everything square and centered is that it gives the barrel (The heart of an accurate rifle) the chance to do it's best. Accuracy, Is the combination of all parts being true and centered, and performing there best. plus the best ammo you can use/load and last but not least the shooters ability. without any one of the elements It will not be as good as it can be. Like others, I do not re barrel with out doing a complete Blue print and pillar bed. The difference I have found is the ability to shoot any ammo well as compared to only one brand or re load when they were not blue printed and bedded. A custom action is no more accurate than a well made and trued factory action when properly installed. They are nice and lots of people want something different so they have there place. An untouched factory action is a pig in a poke and like a box of chocolates (You never know what you will get). Most any factory rifle should shoot between 1 MOA and 2 MOA with some doing as well as 1/2 MOA A well built rifle with a blue printed or custom action and a good aftermarket barrel should shoot well below 1/2 MOA with good shooter skills and fed good ammo. Accuracy has different requirements for different people. Some are happy with 1 MOA, others want 1/2 MOA and the real anal people wont settle for any rifle not capable of sub 1/4 MOA. so you have to settle for the accuracy level you want and go from there. It is easy to get 1 MOA. it is hard to get 1/2 MOA, from there on every reduction in group size is a challenge and has earned by leaving no stone unturned. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
