[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 1215117, member: 24284"] How many who buy a custom action are willing to pay a gunsmith for truing? Remember, most of the costs associated for truing is in the machine set-up. That same machine set-up is used for inspection of action "trueness". I have Mauser '98s that wear custom barrels, triggers and stocks, where the actions have had no more than a facing cut done to the front ring. They'll shoot 'bugholes' side by side with rifles built using modern made actions. I would submit that the heart of accuracy lies in a quality made barrel with a properly alined and sized chamber, firing quality ammo all secured in a properly bedded and fit stock, not forgetting a 'crisp' trigger. Best optics that you can afford only add positives to the rifle. An action really has to be badly 'skewed' to show negative results on 99% of hunting rifles. How much more are you willing to pay for results that may end up being 'unmeasurable' when you've already paid a premium for that custom action? [/QUOTE]
