Will truing or blueprinting an action increase accuracy that much?

[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1354913, member: 12995"] Your gunsmiths sounds just like my gunsmith... Small-time local guy, who's a machinist by day, and gunsmith by night. His prices are great, he's picky about who he does work for, his turn-around time is a week or 2 tops, and only takes cash, because he "doesn't think the government needs to know any of his **** business." LOL Keep us updated on how your build goes. The good thing about your gun, is that you already know it will shoot MOA out to 500. Your smith messing with it won't make it any worse. It can only make it better. And being that he doesn't charge much, if you do decide to upgrade the barrel later, you won't have to pay to have it blueprinted, because you've already done so. And that will make the turn-around time alot quicker, as well. I would also recommend torquing your action screws to 65 inch-pounds. It might be worth a try before you take it to him just to see if that helps any. Also, reloading will help you get your groups alot smaller. Usually factory ammo is not going to do much better than MOA (because it's not as consistent as handloading your own ammo), except for on rare occasion. [/QUOTE]
