Is it fine to assume that a barrel from a manufacturer will properly headspace with every bolt from their recommended bolt supplier? Id rather not make that assumption and have the barrel and bolt checked together and sold together....or am i worrying to much and being over cautious?
If you are not 100% comfortable checking headspace, your approach is entirely appropriate. But there is no CHEAP way to get what you want. If you go with Precision Firearms you are guaranteed a great barrel/bolt combo.
