I assumed you sell complete rifles and not parts
If so, post your specs and prices
90% of my builds are special orders and build to the customers specs. If I'm given the choice for a barrel manufacturer I pick Bartlein every time. Im my experience they have the most consistency accuracy wise among the barrel makers. Actions vary across the board, but Defiance Machine and Bat Machine being the top contenders for extreme ELR. Stocks would be Manners Composites taking the top spot, followed closely by Mcmillan.
I chamber on a South Bend lathe using a True Bore alignment system. The traditional way to chamber barrels uses a "spider" chuck on both ends of the barrel. Problem with that is it induces stress and torques the barrel while dialing it in to true the bore before reaming. Once the barrel is released from the spiders it will spring back to its original form. The True Bore Alignment System solves that issue by only grabbing the barrel on the chamber end only, with angular and rotational adjustments on a single 6 jaw scroll chuck. That leaves the muzzle end of the barrel free floating without stress ensuring I can accurately time the barrel to the 12 o'clock position. I also time the barrel to 12'oclock from the bore, and not the outside of the barrel like most do. All of these extra steps I take make a difference when shooting to the extreme distances of the sport today. Its really not necessary for hunting rifles, but I do it anyway to eliminate all doubts on the equipment.
