[QUOTE="jrock, post: 1454651, member: 78569"] The action is a Ruger M77 so I'm sure the surfaces are all over the place. The replacement barrel is an economy grade. Expectation is for a short range hunting rifle. My local smith told me that if could do one or the other (blueprinting or barrel replacement) that the barrel would give more improvement. If I pay the smith to set up the action to check the surfaces, as everyone has noted here, I'm basically paying for the cuts as they don't take much time. A assume the minimum cuts would be the face and lug cleanups. Using deductive reasoning, removing 1 to 2 thou off the face of the lugs wouldn't change primary extraction much. I know people will say to do the whole blue printing job or none at all but I don't think the action is worth a full blueprint. [/QUOTE]
