[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 426641, member: 13632"] I completely understand how great the nut is but in this case I'm using a 1.25" shank barrel that is a heavy contour and you just don't see that kinda barrel being set up much with a nut, geargrinders is a definite exception. As far making $ for smiths that just don't wash for this kinda build, the action needs trued just as any none custom action so there's that and if your not using a prefit barrel with a standard chambering then you need a smith to chamber and fit your barrel. My case is better since I can do all my own smithing with the lathes and tooling at my disposal. The nut can be a source of issues, I proved this to myself with my Model 12, even with a ground lug I could see that the fit was of so I made a mandrel and faced the nut, fit was excellent after facing it and low and behold my cold bore shot went from 1moa low and left to on target and as the barrel warms up it stays constant. I don't really care how the rifle looks as long as it shoots accurate and consistent, bottom line I want to give myself the best chance of thousands of rounds of cold bore smoking dead on hits as far as I can range!!!gun) [/QUOTE]
