[QUOTE="grit, post: 252725, member: 4112"] I would hold off on even the crown until you bed the action, tune the trigger, and do some load development to see what you have to start with. I would not true the action until ready to replace the barrel. The majority of a rifles accuracy comes from the barrel. Trueing the action without a custom barrel would be akin to dirty drawyers under fresh britches. It is possible the rifle will shoot 1/2 moa without further work. I have a few factory rigs set up with good bedding in quality stocks, tuned triggers, and loads developed for them. One of them is an honest, consistent 1/2 moa shooter. 3/4 moa is much more realistic. Still, you won't know until you try. You can do a lot with load work. [/QUOTE]
