[QUOTE="Bang4theBuck, post: 1874538, member: 73596"] A couple of years ago, a bunch of us bought Remington actions and took them to our gunsmith friend and we tried them all over the course of a weekend. What we found when the Smith was indicating all of the surfaces was that the new stainless actions maintained much better tolerances for straightness, and trueness than the carbon steel equivalents. As time went on, and we built other rifles with friends, we actually built a couple on stainless actions, with criterion remage barrels and upgraded triggers and all of them shot very well. So, now if we are building a hunting rifle and are satisfied with 3/4moa, or maybe a little better, we get new stainless actions and forego the truing the action. [/QUOTE]
