I know what I said and according to their accurizing page there isn't much more to it than that.

I'm just going on what they say that they do to "accurize" a rifle.

How We Do It:
  • Inspect chamber and barrel with our Hawkeye Bore Scope
  • Inspect chamber for proper head space with go and no-go gauges (These two are akin to paying someone to inspect you brakes. This is just fluff talk to make you think you are getting something you are not. You will be asked to pay more if it doesn't meet their criteria)
  • Ensure even locking lug contact as head space allows (So they lap the lugs until they run out of headspace and create a maximum spec chamber. I could be wrong but I doubt they are turning your bolt and receiver on a lathe to accomplish this.)
  • Recrown barrel to ensure a perfectly concentric crown (Finally some actual machine work)
  • Aluminum Pillar and Glass Bed receiver and floor plate (Isn't this pointless in a McMillan stock? Maybe a dab of glass in the recoil lug. A McMillan shouldn't need pillars at all)
  • Free-float barrel (They tape the barrel when they glass the stock)
  • Clean, inspect and tune your trigger (easily done at home with the X-Mark trigger)
  • Check base for level and lap scope rings for a perfect fit
  • Shoot your rifle for groups, sight in, and give you the targets
