I've been reading a lot about how to get more accuracy out of your rifle and one of the prime ways is to have your action and barrel trued. If anybody has had this done, how much did it cost? I have a 300 RUM Sendero SFII and was curious about the cost, the time it takes and how much improvement was realized?
Cost of trueing an action and barrel work?

Shogi,
This is normally done while rebarrelling, so improvements could be attributed to more than one variable. You are looking at about 4 hours labour to square off a Remington action and bolt-face, re-cut lug recesses and rethread the action. In addition setting back the barrel one thread and rechambering will go for $200-250. This isn't the way things are usually done though.
I got a factory barrel on a XR-100 rechambered to 22/243 , strictly as a throw-away fire-forming barrel and the action prepped at the same time as well as fitting a Lilja barrel. The damn thing shot so well like that, that the throw-away barrel is still on the gun and the Lilja is still waiting. 5 in one hole is too good to take apart so the fitted and chambered Lilja is still gathering dust. Ironic, isn't it?
