[QUOTE="pablo, post: 1100874, member: 21067"] I've had similar experiences with 700's and 40X's. I recently bought a lathe and tooling to true actions and chamber barrels. My wife bought me the Gre Tan truing video for Christmas last year and I've watched it twice. It's an exceptional sleep aide but I did make it through twice. Greg is a great machinist and I wouldn't say his is the wrong method but the bang for the buck is not there. Using the PT&G gen 2 tooling, in my opinion, gets you about 95% of the practical correction available in a reasonable amount of time. If a guy needs or wants better he should buy a custom action. The problem with all the corrections is it's hard to make a crooked hole straight, it's much easier to make a straight hole and finish ream it. The point is 700's aren't straight and making it perfect is a stretch. [/QUOTE]
