[QUOTE="IdahoCTD, post: 596445, member: 13110"] 99% of all mass produced actions need trued not just the Rem. 700. How big is your lathe? You don't necessarily need a huge fixture to true a action but you'd have to build some tooling to do it without a huge fixture. If the spindle hole is really small then you probably wouldn't be able to do a full truing job like recutting the threads and the lug recesses unless you got really creative with building tooling and used a steady rest. BTW I have built a ton (well over 50) of Rem. 700 based rifles for myself without doing a full action truing, just lapping the lugs, and I've had some scary accurate guns. Some Rem. 700's are sub 1/2" right out of the box so to say 99% of them need truing to shoot well is wrong. Truing a action is done to help take all the possible variables out of the equation. IMO the barrel has as much or more to do with accuracy as anything. [/QUOTE]
