2much: I guess my experiences are about like yours. Although i did notice an up tick in accuracy from those rifles once properly bedded in a good synthetic stock, with hand loads. I have had some that shot as well as Kriegers.
I don't expect everyone to like the pre 64's the way I do, but the topic seemed to be how to get a good custom or a factory rifle that performs well all the time. What I posted is my solution and has been for many years.
That 06 has only been shot a few times with blue box Federal 150's. No handholds yet.
