[QUOTE="Memberberries, post: 1765686, member: 106647"] While it's not been trued or blueprinted it's been a true sub moa gun for most of its life and it used to creep in on half with reloads. I'm going to chuck it up in a lathe (only cost is time) before I commit to not trueing it but my bolt lugs have 90%+ contact and when bolting the action in various stocks over the years its always had the barrel centered pretty well so I think my threads are at least close to true. If I start removing material from my bolt lugs and the reciever lugface then my primary extraction is gonna need adjusted and you're right that if I open that can of worms I could buy a bighorn once you add up all the features that the custom actions have. But I'm not adding all those features, I'm going to thread the bolt handle myself, square the lugs and bolt face if necessary myself, and if it's actually needed I will open the threads up .010 myself and make them true to the reciever axis. All this is no cost and building stuff is fun. [/QUOTE]
