[QUOTE="Legionnaire, post: 1391603, member: 101897"] Talked to a custom gun builder today. In his parlance, "truing" is making improvements to get things lined up on center of bore, and getting surfaces that should be perfectly square to the bore line. Truing is a matter of degree, as there are many things that can be done, including squaring the face of the action, lapping the bolt lugs, squaring the bolt face, etc., all of which contribute to "truing" the action. He explained blueprinting as a form of truing that, in addition to squaring the action and bolt face, includes chasing the barrel threads to ensure they are perfectly aligned to the bore. Bottom line, a lot of "truing" work can be done without a full "blueprint." That's how he explained it, anyway. And based on his explanation, we decided what he would do to true one of my 700s without doing a full blueprint. Thanks for the video links, by the way. [/QUOTE]
