[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 416312, member: 2736"] I will attempt to list the things that are a must for accuracy in some sort of order for the best accuracy "Potential" . I start with the action because it is the foundation you build on. It must be true and square (based on the bolt center line).no matter what kind it is. And the bolt must fit and be square and have 100% recoil lug engagement. Next a great barrel is a must (Good quality,good material,correct twist and groove for intended use, optumum weight, length and contour. The chamber must be near perfect and the barrel must have a good thread fit and square shoulder for the action plus a good crown. Next comes the stock. A stock must be stable and strong with a solid fit between it and the reciever. pillar bedding will normally take care of this. It should also be floated enough to keep the stock from contacting the barrel during use. A good clean trigger pull is also a must. Add a good base and ring set plus a good quality scope or site and you have the right equiptment for accuracy once you add good ammo and a good shooter. These are not all the things you need and are not necessarily in order but they are the basic things needed for accuracy in my opinion. If I left out something maybe the other guys will chime in.
