[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 60158, member: 10"] Shadowman, I have played with a few of the custom shop Rem 700s and I have to admit that I have not seen much difference in quality control compared to the standard production rifles. Again, some are decent, some are not so good and some should not have left the factory in my opinion. I will say the 40x is an exception to this rule. THey are generally built very square from what I have seen. I have not been able to get into an LTR enough to say how they stand quality control wise. Besides the 40x rifles, I have yet to see a Rem 700 that did not benefit from a quality accurizing. Problem is that to do this right you either have to rebarrel the rifle or cut off the factory barrel shank and refit the factory barrel. This is because to straighten the receiver threads they need to be recut and this opens up the diameter of the threads adn they will not fit the factory threads. Not truing the receiver threads on an accurizing job would be like putting a $3000 paint job on a rusted car. IT would look nice but the inner problems would still ruin the project. Also, If a customer wants to accurize a rifle properly, I highly recommend rebarreling with a custom true match grade barrel. The factory pipe can be machined true but your still dealing with a factory barrel which may not perform up to the fitting of the accurizing job. In that case you just spent alot of money for little improvement when you could have slent just a bit more and added a custom barrel and get results that would be amazing. I do not like to spend hard earned money on machining and accurizing that is dependent on a factory barrel. To much potential for poor results. If your rifle shoots up to your standards now I would say shoot it until the barrel is tired and then rebarrel it and have it fully accurized. If the rifle does not shoot as well as you want, again, I recommend a full accurization and rebarreling. I will e-mail you my prices and turn around times. Good Shooting!! Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
