[QUOTE="*WyoWhisper*, post: 54806"] OK.. I'll put my butt on the line here... I have often wondered what blueprinting was.. to be honest I never really new but over the years and hearing guys talk about it I just came to the conclusion they were talking in terms of how a smith would "true" that action.. ie" lugs lapped, bolt face squared, action square to the barrel etc. etc. etc. when that whole process is complete the action is then " blue printed" I could be wrong but over the years and hearong guys talk about it.. I have assumed thats what they meant... To answer the questions... I think the only way you get a " blue printed" action outta the box is to go through a custom chop ie : Rem 40X or the Win shops.. but honestly if you trying to save money to get into the LR game and trying to do it cheap... Buy a used LR rig from someone... or just wait and save your money.. it took me 2 years to save for my first LR/custom rig! You could always go the Sendero route and get the action trued.. but thats pretty pointless without a custom barrel... [/QUOTE]
