Could be.  It may or may not be the difference between .480" or .410" at the 
competition?   
It does kind of add a touch of class to the project if not.

What does socketing the barrel to the stock mean?  (My reason for posting)

Could you post what kind of barrel you have, and any other modifications to 
the rifle?  I'd most like to hear about the set screws in the trigger guard.  
Also, do you think the tip off mount that comes with the rifle is OK?  You 
said you wanted to mount the scope to the barrel, is that for scope distance 
to your eye, or for more secure mounting?
Questions, questions!
I may even do this this summer! (Anyone want to buy some computer stuff? :-)
Thanks,
David
