silver_fox Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 Not having the funds to purchase a new action as well as a new barrel, has anyone had their factory Remmy 700 action blueprinted? If so, was it worth it? I'm target shooting out to 1100yds and am wondering if the money spent on blueprinting will increase accuracy.

snowz Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 (edited) Blue printing is and isn't worth it, all depends if you want it doing A proper blue printing of a remmy action is on a special jig on a lathe, raceways opened out, bolt sleeved or a PTG bolt, square up action face plus other works etc You prob wouldn't notice much accuracy difference just a smoother bolt action an tighter tolerances. If your shooting ok as is don't worry about it unless you want to pay the extra Edited April 5, 2011 by snowz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vermincinerator Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 A properly accurised Rem 700 will make it as good a shooter as a custom action when combined with a correctly fitted aftermarket barrel. The main process of accurising (dont like the term blueprinting) is to recut the threads concentric to the bore, recut the reciever face and lug abutments perpendicular to the bore, face the back of the bolt lugs and lap for 100% contact with the lug abutments and skim the bolt face. Sleeving the bolt or fitting an oversize bolt is not neccessary but will help in increasing shot to shot consistancy. Ian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
