    Gunsmithing Barrel runout question

    When you’re done collecting data and testing theories and calculating stuff.... put some loaded ammo in the lathe and run some more tests and calculations, and report back. You might be surprised to find we’re shoving some pretty crooked stuff into relatively less crooked holes.

    What am i giving up with a Tikka vs custom actions?
