Once my second nicest came back from Christensen Arms repair center, it worked great. My third nicest, a Remington 5R 223, has also done well since I got it back from the Remington repair department. My cheap little Savage LWH has been extraordinary since day one, but it's not nice. Last edited by PaulBarnard; 01/10/21.

(And yes, I knew this thread would generate some ribbing to start and yes it was worth seeing a fortune in walnut and blued steel.) I have a Husqvarna 640 in 9.3x62 currently at the smith being custom pillared, fully bedded (was pillaring anyway might as well... he'll do a better job than me), cross pinned (brass), scope taps enlarged to 8-40 and re-centered, and barrel re-crowned. Once that's done, I'll spend a month oil finishing the stock and it'll be my nicest rifle by far. My second place is a M70 FWT in 280 Rem and third is a Zastava M70 in 8x57JS that I completely refinished, sold to a buddy at cost, hated myself for selling it, and traded back. Working on photos.
