[QUOTE="Michael Eichele, post: 896844, member: 1007"] I have rifles with 100% factory Remington actions (not 'trued') with custom barrels that shoot in the .1s, .2s and .3s with repeat ability. I have one rifle (fully 'trued') Remington that has shot very well with several barrels but I had one recently that just would not shoot well at all. After trying 8 powders, a dozen bullet types/weight, 4 primers and every possible charge weight, could not make it shoot. Put another barrel on it...instant shooter. IMHO, (assuming the shooter is doing his part) a barrel is what makes or breaks a rifle. An improperly fit or bedded stock can wreak havoc on accuracy as can stress induced on the action from improper scope mounting but no amount of stress relief or bedding or shooter skill for that matter can make a bad barrel shoot good.
