[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1510689, member: 87243"] I like the formula!! perhaps the best way to get a consistent accuracy, is an average of 3-5 shot groups, that should give you a great idea of what accuracy to expect from any given rifle!! Maybe I will shoot a few 5 shot groups with my rifle next time I'm out.... But what do you guys think on cost of a rebuilt rifle? Do you count the cost of the original rifle?? I originally purchased the rifle for $580, put a couple thousand rounds through it, then I had it rebarreled with a $375 krieger, had a bolt knob installed, had the action trued, payed the smith $525 for the work, bought a $275 B&C stock that I modified, painted, and bedded, $138 for trigger, $225 for bottom metal, then a $25 base, $20 rings, $425 scope, $65 brake and $90 for smith install....That makes $2,163 for rifle rebuild, but if you count cost of the original rifle it is $2,743. The rifle regularly shoots in the .2's, and on good days in the .1's. So on a good day, mine values at 274.3, and on average around 685.75!! [/QUOTE]
