win71 Report post Posted August 2, 2018 Better to go ahead and true everything up while they have it apart. Plus new recoil lug, bed the stock, time and chamber the barrel, crown, etc. Too bad the gunsmith that built my .25-06AI isn't around any more. He would spin a new barrel on without truing the receiver for you....of course, you would still have to PAY for him to true it, he just would not do the work. Without truing the action, you would save about $250-350. But it does help. Model-70s don't have recoil lugs that can be replace they are integral to the action. Truing up action is a good idea though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
