[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1110198, member: 2736"] I agree with everything you say, BUT from a gunsmiths point of view, any good Smith with an accuracy guarantee can/should be able to tell the difference, and should tell the rifles owner what the benefit of a premium barrel was. If you are using run of the mill barrels the risk of guaranteeing a I/2 moa or less is two much. and the chance of building a 1/4 MOA rifle consistently would be very slim and not worth the risk. I personally, would never re barrel a rifle intended for accuracy with a low end barrel because with the inconsistency of these barrel the outcome would be a simple guess and not worth the risk. Fortunately, gun smiths are judged by the performance of a rifle and one that choses to take these kinds of risk are living dangerously and will some day have to answer for his decision. Buying good components won't make a poor smith good, but it can make a good smith look great. The best comparison I know is like the term used in the computer world "Trash In - Trash Out" PS: I have nothing against Wilson or any other barrel maker that makes low end barrels, I just choose not to use them because of there inconsistencies. Fortunately, I can count the number of barrels I wont use on 1 hand so there are lots of good barrels to chose from. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
