[QUOTE="Tac-O, post: 2332008, member: 109994"] For those that asked, I specified that I wanted to keep my factory barrel so that I could put it back on if I wanted at some point and that I wanted the new barrel tenon turned to fit the action face bevel. He said he always squares the face when doing a barrel fitting and I said that was fine if it really needed it. But he took almost all of the bevel off, so about 1/16" material. I certainly didn't ask for anything to be done to the action like the threads and bolt face, etc. I don't know if he changed the size of the threads or what, but they're cut noticeably further back closer to the front action screw. I had thought of having it faced off more and then a tombstone style recoil lug made by LRI to bring the fave back to prefit/factory usability but I like the factory Tikka stock and after having that done I might as well have bought another action. I think I know I want to just get a another action or complete 308 and sell this one. It will just take a bit of gear selling to get there [/QUOTE]
