[QUOTE="sbhooper, post: 896748, member: 72297"] People tend to get superstitious or whatever you want to call it. I would bet that a barrel made by any reputable barrel maker matched with a reasonably good action and the same shooter will produce the same results. I think the barrel is very important, but it does not matter what the barrel is, if the shooter is an idiot. I think the barrel is important, the shooter is important(because it does not matter how good the components are if the shooter can't shoot) and the action is in third place. The factory, un-touched action on my Savage/Criterion will shoot less than 1/2 minute. I am not the greatest shooter, as I am a hunter not a paper puncher. My loads and rifles shoot well because I understand what I am doing and know the concept of making a good load. I don't care about neck turning, matching brass, neck tension etc., as I am not a competition shooter and quite frankly, COULDN'T CARE LESS! My factory barrels shoot nearly as good as my custom barrel because I can shoot and I know what I want from a load. If you are into spending all your money on fancy stuff, then go for it, but I think a lot of this accuracy crap is just hype and superstition. It does not take custom, expensive stuff to shoot well unless you are into splitting hairs or shooting at obscene distances-which I am not. [/QUOTE]
