I'm just trying to learn more about what takes place when truing an action. I've done a few searches but I can't find anything that explains what takes place? Can some one help me understand this process?

That is still okay. I have 1000 (tagged) for a rifle. and about another 1000 tagged for a scope. I may not be able to purchase both at the same time cuz I desperatly need a safe to put these new toys...er, neccessities in and thats gonna be another 1300.

Thanks for all the great comments. This site is tops for quality people that know what they are talking about. Tell me what you think, as far as my plans go. I wanted to buy a factory rifle with a 26-28" stainless fluted barrel. Take it to my gunsmith and have him square the action/barrel...

Chosing a Smith\" I'm doing my reaserch to build me a gun. I pride myself in being able to do as much competant work as I can. I can easily do a lot of the work myself, but I do need a Smith to square the action and barrel with each other. I have never used a "Smith" before. So when I go to...
