[QUOTE="Hired Gun, post: 875727, member: 1290"] I am against prefit barrels on bolt action rifles for the sole reason is they can't get the chambers and threads straight. This also applies to most of the mass produced factory chambered rifles. To cut one straight with the bore takes a lot of time and that means added expense. To sell these prefit barrels at the price they do they have a laborer loading blanks into a cnc and pushing the start button. Total time to prefit a barrel is about 10 minutes max. Another reason they cannot chamber or thread one aligned to the bore is one fitted that way must be timed into the action or they have a 345 in 360 chance of getting the barrel pointed into the side of the barrel channel. A regular gunsmith uses this stuff to service and repair rifles all the time. Someone that seeks me is looking for custom precision so I can never recommend a production run fitted barrel. If you were nearby I would be happy to show you the differences in person . [/QUOTE]
