[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1403809, member: 2736"] Sorry I missed this reply . With all of the builds I have done, I have never found a rifle/action that did not have some issues ! If you check any action/rifle and find the problems, even though they may shoot well, truing everything can only help. It has never hurt any rifles accuracy to go through it and get everything as near perfect as possible. I have worked on rifles that were 1/2 MOA rifles because they (The owner) wanted to see if anything could improve the accuracy and give them an edge with there competition. In most cases if the barrel was up to it they became 1/4 MOA or better rifles. Some have even dropped below 1/10th MOA when the shooter was up to it. Possibly the smallest improvement I have seen was when a rifle consistently shot 5 shot groups @ 100 yards of .078 that after going through the entire system It went to shooting groups of .054. An improvement of "Only" .024 thousandths doesn't sound like much or even worth the effort, "BUT" the percentage of improvement is huge. Note: Both groups were an average of 4 groups each (20 rounds per group). So the answer to the question is to make it shoot better, and the logic is if it shoots that well, it is capable of better accuracy if any issues are fixed. (As long as the shooter is capable). Small Improvements can become big improvements at longer ranges. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
