7x57Steve,
Maybe MRC just has something against people from Maryland? To me it seems MRC are very hit or miss. This reminds me a lot of Kimber threads. Some people get great results and can't believe it when others don't.
Jeff,
Along with a list of gunsmith I think pictures of the action to show what kind of finish you put on the rifle. That way people will know what to expect and can decide for themselves if they want to go farther. It would also give a standard level to compare to.
The two actions I had were finished to different levels. The first one was pretty good except all the rounds would pop out when cycled. The second one was a mess in just about every way.
