    For what its worth....all the work is in the setup?

    You prob have to set an action up to decide whether it needs trued anyway?

    Always check a remington, ruger.... so you probably do it....

    Check a sako tikka if you are really pedantic? and you may not have to....?

    Im of two minds.
    Ill probably do it. from memory its only $300
    and if im going to build a rifle its not for economy its for absurd accuracy.

    I didnt even think to ask for truing when fitting a barrel to my sako75. but that was fixing an issue rather than building a rifle

    Helps gain concentricity throughout the action providing the barrel is concentric. As far as bolts go, it ensures the bearing surfaces of the lugs are even with the reciever when locked or should do.
    Do what ya want! Ya will anyway.

    Yeah i think if your goingnto the trouble of a rebarrel then a couple hundy for certain alignment is easy money.

    I never have...well apart from an old Mauser I dicked around with.. They have all shot well.

    I have lapped lugs on a couple but thats it.

    If I wasn't so tight with money and I was paying someone else to make a rifle I probably would get it done

    Always check your recoil lug, I have replaced a couple that were not true with aftermarket ones

    Top action looks familiar
    Dont waste your time chasing every last fps, it doesnt matter in the real world, it wont make a difference, all it will do is cause head aches and frustrations. And dont listen to silly old cunts

    It it was a serous build i would.

    I have just had my tikka reamed out and didn't even think about it.
    If it was getting a new barrel i was 50:50 on it.

    How far out was the action face on the one of mine you have Abe? It looked as tho it had been cut off in a band saw. Do you recut the threads? If so do you have a standard diameter you go to?

    The face on your was .073mm was close for 80% but had a dip in it? The top photo shows hacksaw type marks as well it's quite comman but in saying that a few I done they never wanted them trued an have shot well so I have been told as well.

    I do 'recut the thread, I don't take it out to a standard I should but just go to where it will clean up an a minimum metal removal. It's hard to see but that above action thread face an lugs been done

    Re: To true or not to true

    I would question why you wouldn't true an action if you are re-barrelling it...

    If trueing an action is a waste of time, then why would you consider buying a custom action that is a clone of a mass produced one? Isn't the main point of difference with most/all the Remington clone actions that they are true from the manufacturer? (most will also have tighter tolerances which also must lead to more accuracy potential?)

    If it's not a first round hit you need to practice more
