[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 1066948, member: 1521"] I don't understand why you thought the gun would shoot particularly well to begin. Bling kit aside, the actual gun is what it is. I invested heavy in a real tube gun once(Tubb2000 tactical), in 6XC. It would do exactly what it was built for (competitive grouping) but had no cold bore hunting potential. Sold it off. While the chassis allows for more comfortable position shooting, it's not beneficial to actual shooting results from a rest(bag/bipod), over a standard gun build. So I don't know your intent for the gun, but IMO, it's not gonna do better in that chassis than a good barrel will provide. I would just replace the barrel to begin. If it were a standard gun build/stock, I would suggest both an aftermarket action & barrel. In this case, I would not invest heavily in a gun that would ultimately be worth no more than a another donor Remington - half arse -slap together gun. The gun with an aftermarket action will always be worth more than a Remington gun. [/QUOTE]
