[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1230535, member: 2736"] The OP ask a question "To barrel nut or not" I Gave my opinion, and the reason. You have not proven or explained why you think Remington's are less accurate and then state that after a re do the problems are eliminated. That's why we do a rebuild ! to fix any problems. almost any action can be MADE ACCURATE. Do they come from the factory accurate ? sometimes. are all Savages accurate ? NO !. are all factory rifles Accurate? NO. From a Gunsmithing stand point, there are some actions that respond better to accurizing/blueprinting than Others. I don't consider any production rifle accurate enough without some fine tuning. Occasionally you will find a 1/2 MOA factory rifle and that's ok for some but not long range hunting because it limits the distance you can shoot. I ,Like many want a rifle that shoots better than I can, so I try to squeeze every bit of accuracy out of a system no matter what brand of rifle/action it is. To "consistently" get below 1/4 moa there are things that have to be done to any rifle, so to compare a custom rifle to a factory rifle is like apples to oranges. If someone has a rifle that they want to improve the accuracy, there are things that need to be done that will help. I have re barreled many Savages and without a doubt eliminating the nut system was an improvement or I would still be assembling the Savage way. Also, all of the most accurate rifles that I have built or bought have had a one piece bolt. the only reason I can figure is a good smith can build in accuracy on a once piece bolt, on a two piece bolt what you have is what you get. If you get a good well machined bolt, (Any brand) you luck out. if you don't your stuck unless you can true it. Extreme Accuracy Is not based on what brand of rifle you buy but the quality of the smithing, the barrel, the loading of good ammo. and most of all a good shot. You can alter the quality of the firearm with good smithing and good quality parts. but the owner has the final say in how accurate a rifle is. Final comment: Do away with the barrel nut unless you want to take it apart and switch barrels often, and get the most consistent accuracy. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
