[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 957917, member: 24284"] I would [B][I]not[/I][/B] have a factory barrel or action treated. It'd still be a "factory" action, much like any other 'up-grades' that are offered. By the time you paid to have the action 'trued' and then Melonite treated you could easily buy a Stiller (or a BAT). And factory barrels? I'd not waste the $$$. I've got a BAT that I bought several years ago. It's not Melonite treated and is mighty 'slick' as it is. I'm a firm advocate of Melonite treating custom barrels, I've had positive results as have my customers (probably had about 40-50 done). Especially chamberings that are known as "barrel burners". Treating custom actions, not so much. I've never worn an action out (I've been shootin' [seriously] for 40+ yrs.)! One of my high school graduation presents (class of '74) was a Remington Varmint Master chambered in .22-250. It's been re-barreled about three times and the action's not worn out, by any stretch of the imagination. A 'custom' action will hands down be 'slicker' than about any factory offering, anyway.
