[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1636521, member: 2736"] Every action can benefit from truing !!! I have yet to find an action that didn't have some dimensional discrepancies. some are ok and some are terrible. If you are building a rifle for accuracy, it is smart to have it trued before you find out that it is disappointing. If everything is true, square and on the bore center line working up accuracy loads is much easier. Also they are less finicky and will normally shoot several loads good and when the right load is found accuracy is excellent. When building a accurate rifle, short cuts are the enemy. Also don't let someone tell you that all the action needs is locking lug lapping. That is only a small part of truing a action. There are at least 7 different operations for a real blue print of an action. In some cases there are more depending on the condition or the machining. The actions on a rifle are machined the same those that have not been installed and have the same rejection standards, so essentially they are the same. I blue print/true "ALL Actions" no mater how new, used, what brand or I wont build the rifle with any accuracy guarantee. the other benefit to truing an action is that you can learn how much abuse it has seen or in the case of a brand new action the quality control and machining accuracy that may lead to other inspections and work needed.
