I am going to guess that smart engineers used modern precision CNC and QA/QC throughout the build to produce a rifle with a stiff action, an excellent bore, a crisp trigger, proper headspace, and minimum SAAMI spec on the chamber, all controlled to extreme tolerances, with a stock that does not interfere with barrel harmonics...

but figured I would ask...


I doubt we'll get that as a matter of course in a production rifle. If you do have one in hand it's a good bet the reamer used was on the last sharpening of its life cycle.
