That being said if you send it to a smith to get the barrel done might as well have it squared in the process.

Talking about hunting rifles here:

I tend to work on them until I can get them to shoot MOA. To me that is plenty accurate for a hunting rifle. Usually can get that out of the stock barrel. Bed action, trigger, and most importantly Handloads.

Most "custom" rifles I have ever owned, shot or seen. Might shoot 3/4-1 inch. I have seen VERY FEW hunting rigs that would shoot 1/2. Talking about a clover leaf. Consistently. Plenty of target rifles, heavy barrel, etc. But almost never a hunting rig. I am sure one exists somewhere and of course everyone on the internet owns one... thumbup. I have never put my hands on but a couple.

Net difference 1/4 inch.

Worth the money?
