Off center firing pin strike

[hogpatrol]

I have a rebarreled 700 SS action with the J lock bolt. It was supposedly trued before the barrel was fitted. The primer strike is off center at least .015, maybe more. I tried replacing the firing pin assembly with a Gre-tan but still get the same thing. Any thoughts?

Tag. I've a remmy that hits off center. Never gave it much thought.

I had a new custom action that created off center strikes even greater than yours. Everyone I talked to said it would not cause any problems unless it was massively off center. On the other hand, it was an expensive custom action and that did not cut it for me. If it really bothers you, I bet a smith like Gre-Tan could fix it.

Like you guys said, it probably doesn't make any difference but I'm a machinist and when I see work like this, on a custom or factory rifle, I have to shake my head. When I get time, I'll fix it myself.
