[QUOTE="Badgerclaw, post: 1709142, member: 101780"] It wasn't until my buddy taught me how to use his lathe and I started truing my actions that I realized how out of square remington's really are. I have plenty of trued up actions now and won't need one for awhile, but I got to thinking... if I were to buy a factory rifle tomorrow, to build on in the future, what is the best factory action? I really like my howa but it shot so well, I haven't taken the barrel off and trued the action. I know savages have a free floating bolt head, but in my opinion it doesn't make up for a sloppy action. Tika and Sako actions I know are held to very tight tolerances, so much that you can buy barrels pre- headspaced unlike remington's where companies will only short chamber unless they have the action on hand. I've only trued up remingtons, so my question is, who out there has gone to true up a savage, howa, browning, weatherby or some other action, and after getting it dialed in on the lathe, realized it was already to good to mess with? Perfect bold lug contact, square face, square threads the like. PS- I'm not talking custom actions, it's a no brainer those are true [/QUOTE]
