If I have a Remington 700 with a bedded action and in the future I choose to have the action "blue printed",when I re-barrel, will the current bedding job be negatively affected?

if you upgrade recoil lugs, yes. If you just have the action trued, it shouldn't.

if u reuse the stock recoil lug i dont see it being a problem as there should be enough room in the holes for the action to slide forward a few thousands to make up for the metal removed from the reciever face. but most smiths replace or surface grind the lug so you'll prob need to re bed the lug area

Yes
But, maybe it will be fine. in fact good chance it will still shoot as long as not too much was removed from the receiver face.

unless the recoil lug was pinned before the bedding, you will have to re-bed as nothing is ensuring the lug being timed out the same...

Thank you guys!! I am currently waiting on a Manners T5 with the mini chasis but was still planning on bedding. My round count on this rifle has got to be pretty high and I figure a new BBL. will be needed within the next year. Guess I'll either hold off on the bedding or make an early investment on the truing and BBL.

why take the time and money to rebarrel and blueprint and not rebed.
