[QUOTE="James Jones, post: 181093, member: 8843"] Thats right , theirs no way to drill a hole that deep and have it strait , so some barrel makers will straiten the barrel and this is major reason that some barrel "wander around" so much when they heat up because of the stree that was introduced into them during the straitening process. supposedly Dan Lilja is the man to drill deep strait holes and supposedly Lilja barrel have less curve than any others. I have tried several barrel makers and have found that Kreiger and Hart barrel are pretty **** strait , never tried a Lilja or Rock Creek or any of the newer barrels. I spun the barrel in a static rest thats desgined to check the straigthness of pump shafts (like the units desgined to check your loaded ammo's runout) with the barrel supported at one end and the middle , I put a range rod in the breech end and the muzzel and set up dials on both and gave it a turn , you would be amazed how much a little last word dial moves on the muzzel end. Like I mentioned before you would be supprised how may guys don't worry about it when they build their guns and I'm talking about guys that build world class long range target rigs , its probably realy nothing to be concerned with but I feel that every little thing I can do to stack the ods in my favor is worth the extra effort. Guys that bitch and whine about the prices that smiths charge to blueprint an action and install the barrel just don't understand , if they new the hassel that goes into doing a quality job they would relize what a bargen they are getting !!!
