[QUOTE="entoptics, post: 1718313, member: 104268"] Not gonna mess with it till after deer season, but it sounds like it's well worth a try. It's a light and handy little beater rifle, and if I could shave a 1/4 MOA off the groups, it would see a whole lot more use. Needs a trigger tune also. It's got one of the nastiest creeps I've ever dealt with. Almost like a two stage trigger with a "set". Creeps a millimeter or so at 3 lbs, then clicks into place for about a 1 lb release. If I concentrate, it's not a problem, but sometimes I pull through the creep too hard and BOOM! I enjoy working on guns, so hopefully this will be a fun and educational project. Pretty much an ideal gun for my first attempt at a bedding job. Not a whole lot to lose really. Even if I somehow destroyed it, I could probably replace the whole rifle for $300 (and get a caliber I actually like). [/QUOTE]
