[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 596471, member: 2736"] "All" actions need to be checked for true,ness no mater who makes then !!!!! With that said you can assemble the action a barrel with fair results and sometimes great results. But what I recomend is at minimum, take the barrel and a good used 700 REM SA to a smith and have him assemble it with the parts you have and head space it. This may require a set back of the barrel and touching the chamber with a 260 reamer to set head space. This would be the minimum required to have a working rifle. If it is a factory barrel don't expect great accuracy. if it is a custom barrel it may shoot well with minimum truing. If your smith can/will true the action and install an after market recoil lug you should end up with a good to great shooter. There are no shortcuts to accuracy but you can put together a decent shooting rifle without some of this work as Idaho said. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
