[QUOTE="Woody, post: 95784, member: 5451"] Wanting to own an accurate 300win mag to complement my very accurate .270 and in duscussing my wishes and based on his recommendations, I sent a M700 to a gunsmith in WY to blueprint the action, install a select match grade #4 contour barrel, bed in the factory syn stock and adust the trigger. 2 months later he called and said the rifle is done and it shoots 5/8-3/4 groups with 180 gr SGKs and NPs. I received the rifle and was never able to better 1.25" with any load. I called the smith to discuss the matter he said that he has a barrel that shoots one hole groups that he checks actions with [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img] and that mine was dead on [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] , I called Shilen and they said that select match grade barrels do not come in #4 contour. Needles to say I was BS'd and I have too much money in it to try to rebuild so I just ate my lo$$ and moved on. I have the bug for another accurate rifle but don't want to go thru another disappointment. [/QUOTE]
