[QUOTE="IdahoCTD, post: 700029, member: 13110"] I agree with what he said Outlaw. If your shooting competitively or you only build a few custom rifles in your lifetime then by all means go all out. I do my own work and build quite a few rifles a year so it's only for my benefit or lack thereof. I've had more accurate rifles with untrued receivers than with trued receivers so like I said before I believe the barrel is by far the most important part with the installation a close second. I'm not sure the average person could measure the gain from truing a receiver unless it was over the course of lots of rounds and targets. It would be a interesting test to chamber a barrel on a untrued receiver and shoot a couple hundred rounds for groups and then set it back and true the receiver to see the gain. Granted there will be a slight gain by shortening the barrel just due to the increased stiffness. [/QUOTE]
