I build rifles for a living. I buy and fit stainless steel 1/4x28 Torx head screws with every rifle that I build. I also include a 1/4" deep socket with a Torx bit glued into in for the customers to use with their torque wrenches.

Tactical rifle matches out to 800 Yds. What is the preferred cartridge?

I agree. The bolt raceway may be that far out of alignment with the OD of the action. That is why the action face, threads and lugs are trued to the bolt race. I would shoot it before doing any re machining. As side note, I wouldn't bet my life on the combination square as a Precision instrument.

It sure bumped up my compression ratio.

$200.00 is a very reasonable price. We've been doing them for $250.00 but we re-blue the action afterwards.

Jeff Flannery in Ky. Google it.

Lee, if you and your lathe are that good then you'll never have a need for a grinder. Somehow I expected your rifles to always "shoot itty bitty".

Killswitch, you have an incredible amount of luck!

If you want something nearly round, turn it. If you want something perfectly round, grind it.

Lee, what kind of grinder do you use to make the rods?

Bill Calfee, expert rimfire benchrest gunsmith did a series of articles, in the now defunct Precision Shooting magazine, that covered this extensively. You may be able to find the articles in the Archives of the IBS.

I have a continuous loop of "Rat Tamago" by Frank Zappa.

Newall Digital Readout DRO for 12" x 30" Travel Mills | eBay I have this on my mill and another on one of my lathes. I like them very much. The scales are ball bearings and not glass like most of the others.

Damn, I learn something, on this forum, everyday.
