Hey all. Did a search to no real avail.
I just picked up a NIB Savage 10P with a 20" barrel. This is not my first rifle, but it is my first brand-new rifle. I anticipate setting it up for use up to 1000 yards, as I am lucky enough to be a member at Sacramento Valley Shooting Center -- which has a rather excellent 1000 yard range.
My question is ... should I just go ahead and bring it over to Marc at Spartan Precision in San Jose to have the action blueprinted before even firing the thing? Or should I just shoot it first? I've never had any of my other rifles blueprinted, mainly because they are just hunting rifles ... and because I acquired all of them used. How do you know when to blueprint a factory action? 1 MOA? .5 MOA?
I plan on ditching the crappy stock and going with a Manners or McRee chassis.
Thanks for the input, folks.
