Assuming yiu dont count lapping the lugs which is normally done by the gunsmith, the action doesn't need to be broken in, but it will get a lot slicker after you've run the bolt 20000-30000 times. depending on the type of finish applied

For your sake, here's hoping it's two thousand instead of twenty thousand. Just in case, though, you might want to get started. It shouldn't take you more than fourteen hours of constant cycling to reach 25,000 times. If you're fast (once per second), you can cut that down to seven hours. Have a good time.Was that 20 thousand rounds or 2 thousand rounds above? Yes, "slicker". That's what I was looking for.
I'm sorry, but not "swabbing" this surface every other round is nothing compared to the strain that is created every time you pull the trigger.
I read with some of the Rugers, the bolt can feel like it's binding. How many runs to get rid of that?
Lol1) Shoot the rifle once on a full moon using a round soaked in silver chloride.
2) Immediately after shooting the rifle, point the barrel in the four cardinal directions and command the demons of fouling to retreat.
3) Wait exactly 7 minutes, then shoot once more. Store the rifle for 5 months.
4) Clean the bore using solvent diluted 50/50 with almond butter and tail of newt. Work up to pure solvent over a series of 15 swabs.
5) Have the rifle blessed by a chaplain from a state created after 1860. It should now shoot perfect 0.5" groups, every time.
