[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 1622707, member: 10755"] Just facing an action rarely achieves anything better than not facing it. If the threads are off, facing may make the misfit worse. I had a Win Model 70 New Haven action that had the worst lot of stacked misalignment I have ever seen, it was so bad that the barrel had .200" of eccentricity at the muzzle. The scope mount had to be set with the rear base off-centre by .240" just to bore sight the gun. I re-trued everything and had .005" off at the muzzle, then re-chambered the gun. Turned out to be a 3/8 MoA 338WM shooter in the end. On a Rem, the barrel shoulder, recess in the chamber and action faces ALL need to align or something will be off. Lapping the lugs should be the first operation performed. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
