[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 1455184, member: 10755"] My last Win Model 70 New Haven made classic stainless action I built a 264WM off, started life as a 338WM with .026” runout at the muzzle. I assumed it would have been a combination of the barrel shoulder/action shoulder face and barrel. Nope... barrel was good, less than .002” by a couple tenths. Barrel shoulder was .0164” out and the action shoulder face was .0087” off true. Due to this, the threads weren’t true, so the barrel screwed on crooked. I picked this barreled action up CHEAP because the guy THOUGHT the scope base holes were drilled off centre, when in fact it was the reasons above that the rear ring required so much adjustment. You could see how much the scope was offset to aim where the barrel was pointing. I kept that rifle because it SHOOTS less than 1/4 MoA. I would true everything up, it’s the only way to know it’s right. Cheers. :) [/QUOTE]
