[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 801905, member: 2736"] Thanks for the complement on the appearance of my rifles. I think that a custom rifle should look good as well as shoot good. Everyone has different ways of dealing with the accuracy issue. Some feel that some things are not worth the effort because you may only gain a few thousandths in group size. Others Like my self believe that any operation that will true everything to the bore is worth the effort. I feel that is the process of elimination, If I resolve every issue that I can I have a better chance of producing a sub 1/4 MOA rifle. That includes starting with the best barrel, A trued action, A quality stock, Best Trigger and a good pillar bedding. If all of this is done the only things that should lessen the accuracy is the Loads and the shooter. A properly assembled rifle should take away any excuses for poor accuracy except those two. I will be the first to admit that I am anal about everything being as good as I can get it, And I don't want to be second guessing myself as to what should have done or could have done when I start shooting it and It doesn't meet my expectations. The main advantage is consistency, and the ability to shoot well with any load. and have several loads that will out shoot Me on any given day. I never rate anyones work until I have to dissemble there work and find things are over looked, or simply not important enough to bother with in there mind. I don't post my rates because I have much lower overhead than some and it would not be apples to apples pricing. I will say that it cost less blue print a Remington than a for a Savage because there are two more set ups because of the "Floating Bolt Head" (Setups are time consuming). Having a V Block in a stock does not guarantee accuracy (Some do well and others don't) Most of the inserted stocks have a built in flaw, The pillars that should touch the bottom to work correctly DON'T. when I bed one of these I first machine a insert to fit in the pillar that extends up to touch the action. Look at your HSP and you will see that the pillars are below the stock line. This produces bending moment in the action when tightening the bedding screws. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
