[QUOTE="Gamesniper19, post: 2314157, member: 95013"] Recommend shooting the rifle first and before you pay for blueprinting, see what it shoots. If its a 500 yard rifle and it shoots sub MOA with factory ammo, probably not needed. Future forward. Most people who buy a fine rifle and come out west will eventually want to shoot farther. If not on animals, at least for fun and to test and hone your skills. If you do find that takes place then truing and even perhaps replacing the barrel would be warranted only if: [LIST] [*]You plan on hand loading.
