[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 832602, member: 12995"] Yes, you can true the actions. You will probably want to find an older smith with lots of experience under his belt. I have found the older smiths who still use the manual lathes and mills REALLY know how to build a rifle. I am going to try to get my smith to teach me a few things about truing actions and building a custom rifle. He's been building rifles for me for 11 years. Maybe if I help, he'll cut me a good deal...Then again, he might charge me double! LOL :D I've been wanting to learn gunsmithing for years, but don't know how to even get started. The Rugers use a Mouser 98 style action, which has been around since the 1890's. It's probably killed more game and been used for more custom rifles than any other action in history. Any smith worth his salt should know how to true one up. [/QUOTE]
