[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 280030, member: 11717"] I think BB has some great advice here, especially point 3 :) The only thing I would change is do step 2 first. If you never bedded an action before, you might decide you need a new stock after your first attempt ;) In that case you might consider a B&C Medalist or McMillan. There's a lot of good after market stocks for a Rem 700. One other thing... what is your "cheap scope"? It sounds like it's holding zero well, but once you get past 500 yds, you'll want to consider dialing your elevation and maybe windage in. For that you'll need a scope with good reliable and repeatable turrets. Or... a reticle designed for long range hold on's. Good shooting and hunting. -MR [/QUOTE]
