[QUOTE="jrock, post: 2737901, member: 78569"] I've done a number of actions (Rem, Savage, etc) where the barrel was removed and replaced with a quality barrel. All those guns have shot 1/2 MOA easy with reloads. However, with the barrel being removed, it's hard not to clean up the lugs and face of the receiver at a bare minimum. It's the best time to do it and those steps only take a few minutes once dialed in on the lathe. Those steps have the highest cost benift ratio. Doing the bolt body really helps and makes it "feel" better too. For me, if one is considering "the works" on an existing action, it's better to buy an aftermarket action. The only downside to that is the wait. If you have a donor action in hand and your smith has time, you could get a gun finished quite a bit sooner. [/QUOTE]
