[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 1470664, member: 5219"] IMO not much of a risk putting a barrel on a non blueprinted action. I do it all the time. Personally I have just begun doing my own barreling and it is lots of fun and saves a bundle. I have done 18. I have had gunsmiths place factory and custom barrels on non blueprinted actions for over 35 yrs. Rem, Lilja, Bartlein and Douglas barrels with Rem 700, Win post 64 model 70, Mauser, Mark X, and Ruger actions. All shot quite well. And some shot bugholes. I have a few that I use the first hole as an aiming point for the next 4 shots which make one ragged hole at 100 yds. I tried to remember all the rifles I had put together or the ones I did. Here is the best I can remember at this moment: 22-250 -2 6 BR -2 243 6mm Rem 6mm-284 -4 6mm-264 6.5-284 -2 264 win mag -2 257 weatherby -6 270 weatherby 7-08 284 -6 280 Rem 7 Rem mag -5 30 BR 308 -2 30-06 -3 300 RUM -2 338 RCM -2 338 win mag 375 Taylor I say stick the barrel on and make ammo with little runout, you'll do fine.
