I took my Rem700 chambered in 300 win mag to the range the other day and it has started to have some problems, bolt sticking, patterning instead of grouping that kind of thing. I took the rifle into a smith, He took a look into the chamber with his little scope thingy, cleaned it then took another look, after slipping in the go no go gauges he then told me this firearm should NOT be fired until it was re-barreled. It seems that the previous owner did some back yard gunsmithing. So I am at this junction, I have a budget of 1000.00. I would like to build this into a 1k yard tack driver (the tack being an elk). Do I just send the barreled action into Hart and call it a day or does this budget allow some other modifications that will give more accuracy? I am really asking the old....er......more seasoned members on here what they would do with this budget. Planning on reloading to shoot 210 grain berger VLDs. Currently the gun is in the tupperware stock, no glass bedding, and is wearing a Nikon Monarch 4-16 optic. 3..2..1...........GO!
