[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1454278, member: 2736"] Thanks Eddie, I don't think of my self an expert, just someone that leaves no stone UN turned, but i do consider myself a craftsman and want perfection if i can achieve it. Over the years, I have developed a procedure for everything to with a rifle in order to feel comfortable that when it is finished, it will be the best I can build. I try to eliminate every possible defect/irregularity as I go. this includes all components such as barrels, actions, stocks, triggers, chambers, bedding, scope/sites mounting, loading's, and anything else I find. I have found that If I fix/eliminate everything I find I will end up with a great shooting rifle. Action truing is one of these procedures, and I have been astonished with how bad some parts are and how good other parts are. These differences have convinced me that I must check every action Factory or custom. Foe the most part, some custom actions are very well made and accurately machined, but they need to be checked because all are not perfect. Assuming that they are, will only lead to less than the best performance. Factory actions, are rarely perfect and need to be blue printed for accuracy because the fact that they are mass produced, the acceptance standards are not as stringent as some of the custom actions. There has long been a debate as to differences in cost and performance between the factory action and the custom action. In my opinion, When both are machined true to the bore and held to close tolerances there is little if any accuracy difference. the actions job is to hold the cartridge perfectly straight and in the same position "Every"time before, during and after each firing. Most custom actions actions have features that many want and cannot get in the factory actions, so they are more attractive to the more discriminating shooter. but with these features comes added cost. The smiths that are not at least checking the custom actions are taking a lot for granted and risking poor performance from a rifle with all top end parts. Accuracy Is built in, not bought. Saying that "That's good enough" or "That will be fine" will lead to problems that may never be found and corrected. Take care of everything you can find, and you never have to wonder what is wrong or what If i had done this better. Blue print every action, and don't leave out any steps then when it comes time to start working up accurate loads, it will be easier and faster to reach your goals.
