[QUOTE="fmajor, post: 1064676, member: 20646"] Welcome! Incidentally, you're probably better off posting your question in the "Long Range Hunting" forum where you'll have a lot more eyes reading your post. Also, you'll get a lot of suggestions to use the "Search" function, but unfortunately it is sorta finicky to use..... Otherwise, your stock is a good one, though would likely benefit from (at least) a skim bedding job. I like Leupold and haven't used Zeiss, Vortex, Sightron, Bushnell, Nightforce, Swarovski, Kahles, Schmidt & Bender or many of the other high-end optics. However, Vortex is highly regarded as a great bang-fer-yer-buck optic. As to what you can do to improve your rifle - it depends highly on your personal skillset; 1) as mentioned above, bed the stock/recoil lug 2) ensure the barrel is free from contacting the stock at all points 3) smooth out the trigger or replace it (Jewell/Timney/Shilen are all good) 4) lap the recoil lugs to the receiver 5) lap the scope mounts and rings These are the things I do to my rifles. Otherwise, I have to take it to a 'smith for the really skilled work. Again, welcome! [/QUOTE]
