[QUOTE="VinceMule, post: 3074886, member: 122164"] I use a Kliendorst recoil lug locator on Rem 700s. Being dead set against Barrel nuts for many years, I always bad mouthed them. Finally, I was in the mood to experiment, and had a 6 BR Remage chambered from an older Benchrest 6 PPC barrel of mine. Mercy, I was sure shocked at how good the accuracy was/is. Since I was wrong on the first barrel, I made a 6 BRA into a Remage, 700 Action, Benchrest laminated stock from Stocky's. Again, tiny groups were achieved in a hurry. I swallowed my pride and bought a Savage 112 Single shot BVVS, I think is what they are called, and put a 22/250 AI, zero freebore that had previously been a 22 PPC that I shot in competition, Skim coat bedded the action, installed a Sharp shooter 5 oz trigger, Pac Nor barrel nut. I worked up loads with three powders(Win 760, Varget, and IMR 4320) shooting in the high 2's in one day at the rifle range. Next, I bought a Savage SS single shot, and made a 223 AI, zero freebore with a 12 twist, Barrel nut, and this darn thing shoots very tiny groups, simple laminated stock, skim coat bedded. I proved to my own satisfaction that barrel nut jobs will shoot tiny groups, even on klunky Savages with nothing done to them. Pride of ownership is another subject and how we justify our likes and wants. I enjoy the feel of closing the bolt and feeding on a Borden, Stolle, and Bat action! I also like using 80-100 ft/lbs of torque when tightening a shouldered barrel on an action. We like what we like, sometimes for no darn good reason other than that is what we like. Perhaps if we read a line of BS a thousand times, the BS now becomes truth. I will never true another of my own 700 actions, but I will use a custom recoil lug and upgraded firing control system. I have trued and non trued actions, same make of barrel, same stocks, same glass, same triggers, same reamer used on both shooing identically the same. Whether it was trued or not trued, the rifle that shot the best was the one that was shot with the best wind condition at that time. Bottom line, we have to do what gives us confidence, as long as our money holds out. [/QUOTE]
