[QUOTE="Autorotate, post: 704015, member: 8073"] +1 on the response above. Obviously Kirby's resume on LRH is known. But....it's my humble opinion.... That if you were to draw two vertical lines on a rifle capable of LR precision...one at the bolt face, and the other at the aft action screw.... The stuff in front of the bolt face is the most important factor in determining a precision rifle's potential (the ammunition, the chamber job, and the barrel). The stuff behind the aft action screw (namely the shooter) would be the second most important factor. The stuff between the two lines...(namely the action, and "blueprinting" machine work, and the mechanical function of the optic)...is the third most important. I'd spend my time, money, and research accordingly. You'll need all three to work at thier full potential to get all you can out of the rifle as a system. It'd take one helluva shooter to lay behind two different 1/2 MOA rifles, one a Wby and one a R700 clone...and make the R700 one shoot 1/4 MOA better than the Wby rifle. If you're at that level...you're not posting this question on LRH. Just my 2 cents. [/QUOTE]
