[QUOTE="Alex Wheeler, post: 1828745, member: 101859"] Rhian is steering you in the right direction. At one time I sold ground/hardened mandrel sets, using full diameter mandrels and holding only the front ring is the only way I found to true and action to my satisfaction. I have checked a lot of "trued" actions and I can see why many dont think it helps. I am sent rifles a few times a year that are not shooting competitively in Benchrest. Usually these guys have multiple barrels, scopes, exc, and are about ready to give up on the rifle. In just about every case the problem is in the action. The action is the most important part of the rifle and it will determine how good of a barrel you get. In my opinion you need to build off of the the very best made/designed action you can. Or put the work into your action to bring it to that level. Saving a few hundred may potentially hold the rifle back its entire life. But to directly answer your question. On a scale of whats important in an action, threads are at the bottom of the list. [/QUOTE]
