[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 678090, member: 30902"] Ditto. A lot of the problem past 400yds can also very easily be mental attitude. You have to be convinced you CAN make the shot and when you are, you will shoot better. If the rifle/load combo is performing at 400yds there's no reason the same set up will not perform well beyond it. Make that a double ditto though on the trigger work. I prefer 1.5lbs or a little less and with the factory M70 triggers you can really open up the over travel quite easily. Another suggestion is once the weight is properly set, pull the rig and bathe the whole trigger mechanism in 200 grit lapping compound, work it till it starts to get smooth, then blow it out with carburetor cleaner and work some 800 grit on it till it's really smooth. You can also do the bolt lugs the same way which cannot hurt anything one bit. [/QUOTE]
