[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1215254, member: 2736"] I'm one of those guys that leaves no stone un turned and attempt to make sure that everything is as good/perfect as I am able to make it. In my "opinion" based on past results and experience an accurate rifle is the sum of all parts that are as near to perfect as possible. Leave one out and the accuracy degrades . (How much doesn't matter), it's just not as good as it could be. Checking to see is everything is up to specification is not Blue printing it is checking. it is a means of identifying a possible problem and then you deal with it. I have seen the other method of "it's ok" or "that's close enough" and had to deal with it and based on what happens when you take the time, and check everything, the end results are always better. I am retired and don't Smith for a living, so I have no ulterior motive to push Blue Printing to make more money. In fact I do it for friends and relatives and don't charge them any labor for building there rifle, just for parts. but I do a blue print on there action anyway because I believe it helps and for sure it seems to make the rifle more forgiving to different loads. I also always find something that is not to "MY" specifications. (AS GOOD AS I CAN MAKE IT) Can I measure what effect it will have on accuracy ? No. I just know that if I correct it, it will be one less thing that I have to worry about, and wonder if I should have corrected it. It is a very simple to me, If I do everything that needs to be done and use the right parts, I know the rifle will shoot very good if I feed it good ammo. I don't question anyone else's beliefs or practices so they can do what they like and if they don't believe that a Custom action or any other action needs to be at least checked, that's ok. but no one will ever convince me that taking short cuts is ok and doing the absolute best you can will not pay off in the end. This is not an argument, just my beliefs and I will continue to blue print every action regardless of whether I get paid for it or not rather than risk a poor performing rifle. It is part of the build. Just my opinion J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
