Gunsmithing Key points to accurizing

Barring loading theory and shooter error.. I'm looking to create a thread that discusses the key points of accurization of a bolt-action rifle.

A few I can list off the top of my head:

Basic(non-smithing)
-Quality glass, properly installed
-Aftermarket stocks with adjustable Length of pull and cheek plate
-Glass or Ti pillar bedding
-A bi-pod

Smith-work
- Headspacing
- reciever blue-printing
- bolt-rail lapping
- bolt lug lapping

Manufacturer-Selection
- Barrel materials (SS,CrMo,C-Fe)
- Bolt Action style (Mosin, Ruger, R700, B2008, etc..)

Perhaps a suggestion of the posters perfect built 1 Rifle for all applications.

Requirements for that perfect piece would include;
-Accurate(as a greater point than reliability)
-Mid-weight (comfortable to hike with, but heavy enough to handle the recoil of the caliber)
-Reliable (barrel life and quality parts)
