[QUOTE="25WSM, post: 2113483, member: 38048"] I agree that most actions don’t really need trued up to shoot 1/2 moa. A good barrel and bedding will usually get it done. I’ve built semi customs on 700s for over 30 yrs and I’ve seen them be very straight and shoot crappy and very crooked and shoot good. One had lugs that were .010 off of each other and shot fantastic with only one lug touching. If you put one together and it just can’t be made to shoot then think about trueing but if your expectations are 1/2 moa you should be ok. I’ve done Remington 700s that I trued up everything on and sleeved the bolt and bushed the firing pin and they can be hammers. But I’ve put good barrels on many other actions that I did nothing to and had them hammer too. Getting 1/2 moa isn’t hard in today’s shooting world. Bullets and barrels are great and as long as the barrel is put on properly you shouldn’t have a problem. Go for it you will have fun and learn new things about your rifles and it’s addictive so be prepared to do more of them once you get your feet wet. Shep [/QUOTE]
