[QUOTE="KDB, post: 326927, member: 18510"] I am not a smith, but have had several rifles worked over. I would say that if you have a rifle that shoots good, but not great, then pillar and float the barrel. If it still shoots good and not great, then consider having more work done. When you start talking about trueing actions and rebarreling rifles, then the expense factor goes way up. Sometimes, for a marginal increase in accuracy. So, here's my list: Pillar, bed and float barrel Install good trigger with lower pull wieght (jewell's are hard to beat) Then decide if it is worth sending off for the full monty. I would only get it trued if you are planning on a custom barrel, otherwise, it is not worth the expense. Good luck [/QUOTE]
