Years ago I had really good shooting 700 sporter .22-250. When the barrel wore out I had the action trued with the re-barrel job. The riflebuilder -a guy who did all the benchrest rifles around here - said that action was the worst/most out of true Remington he'd ever seen. So who's to say about this stuff. I think the barrel and chamber are more important.
Savage axis trued and had the action machined back to accept a regular recoil lug fluted bolt.

Heres one you dont see every day. Most guys build on 700 actions, I decided to chop up my Mini Mauser when I was 12 years old to squeeze as much performance out of it. The factory barrel would sling bullets into a 1' to 2' group at 300 yards. No bueno.
I saved up a lot of money to have Douglas spin a 26" Premium Heavy 1:9 .223 Rem barrel on it. Boy did she shoot! Never bedded it or anything, just shot it like it was. Heres a picture a few years after having it "done".
Probably around 2011 was when it was started.
Heres a picture from January 2015
By now it had been Cerakoted and made daily trips with me in the back of the truck to highschool (worked on a farm daily after school). The first year I had worked there, I had shot over 60 groundhogs off that farm by mid summer and decided to quit counting. It was wearing a old Leupold Vari X II 3-9 that proved to work okay to 350 yards with some kentucky windage. I had save money that summer to buy a Vortex Viper PST 6-24x50 MIL FFP scope for it so I could finally dial for those far shots. $950 was a lot of money then but boy did it make a good upgrade!
I had experienced some humid days and the stock started to seem to shift the POI. It was thin to begin with and I felt I needed something else to support the weight of that chunky barrel. I ordered a Richards Microfit stock that was supposed to be "95%" but it was more like 50%. I put A LOT of time in sanding that thing and reprofiling it. It went through multiple iterations before finally getting it bedded by Seitzinger Riflesmith in West Newton PA.
I shot it for a while before reprofiling it AGAIN in summer of 2020. This marked the 3rd time that I spent about a week off and on sanding, grinding and shaving it down. Finally got it where it felt good and coated it again with a few good coats of TRU OIL.
Here is a picture from October/November 2020 getting it out at the range (new scope too) and load testing with different powder.
Happy to say, she still shoots as good as ever and it was the best group with this gun to date.
This rifle is very special to me given that I started it when I really started getting into centerfire shooting as a kid and it shows that good planning makes it still relevant today. I did all of the stock work, with some guidance from my dad with the exception of the bedding job. Douglas did the barrel work. Jon and Chris at Pittsburgh Cerakote did the cerakoting. Its worth noting, this action was never trued or lapped. Just as it came from the factory.
Specs as it sits today.

I have a few other customs that get to see some use from time to time for coyotes but this has been the top for me. This season the 6 creed and 260 might sit for a bit while the 6bra and 25 creed will get some action.
