[QUOTE="Will Gray, post: 1685830, member: 65116"] A new lathe would be great but I am too old for that. It is a hobby with me: my brother gave me his 1960's Craftsman/Atlas 12" which does everything I need for taking a rifled blank to a completed barrel. I think all the action work being done on Remington 700's and such is great hype but if the barrel-chamber is right and the headspace is set right, all the rest is just not very important. I find my Savage 110's and Ruger American just a good as my Remingtons: its all in the barrel-chamber! In my view. Want more accuracy, get a bull barrel from a great barrel maker. Its the last thing the bullet "sees" when leaving town... [/QUOTE]
