[QUOTE="Hired Gun, post: 1016013, member: 1290"] I agree that by the time you buy the tooling you could have bought the very best custom action money can buy and have a way nicer rifle. A trued action is a very small part of the accuracy equation. So little if I was you I wouldn't even think of doing it. A tap will not true up anything even with the guide. It will just chase the existing threads. To do it right requires a lathe to single point the surfaces. Many inexperienced guys end up cutting too much and end up throwing the bolt timing off so far the bolt may need the handle repositioned. Your accuracy comes from crown, barrel, bedding and optics. This is where the money and time needs to be spent. [/QUOTE]
