The barrel is definatly the most important. This is JMO, but when people say a rifle is "more accurate than they are", I think they are making excuses for a lousy grouping rifle (off sandbags anyhow) .

The finest rifle in the world will only be a 10 moa shooter if the nut behind the bolt is only capable of holding 10moa.

I would have to say it is the barrel. That is if you have a decent action,such as a Rem.,Win., or Savage,ect.
If it is not,then why do the barrel makers have such a good business going?
Who ever shot out an action????I've done in quit a few barrels!!!!!

What makes a good race car?
Is it the tires, suspension, aerodynamic body, engine, driver or is it a combination of all of these things combined?
Same thing applies to guns.
The best barrel in the world isn't going to do you a bit of good if it's put into a $25 stock and has a trigger pull that feels like sand paper rubbing against each other.
The best trigger isn't going to be worth a darn if the barrel is rough, fouls easily, isn't held to extremely tight tollerances, etc... or the person pulling the trigger flinches every time he does so.
So on and so on.
