[QUOTE="cross, post: 470277, member: 8592"] It's pretty unimaginable that your Grandpa's Model 700 is worn out. If I were sending my rifle to Krieger, I'd choose their Level II truing service. It's only $75 more than their Level 1 truing service and a fairly insignificant percentage of the total bill anyway. As far as having them perform glass bedding or pillar bedding, that depends on what stock you're going to use, etc.. I'm pretty much a synthetic stock guy. Wood stocks are pretty but they can warp and change with temperature, humidity, and time; and laminates are heavy. By the time I get as much barrel and glass on my rifle as I like, I don't need any extra weight. If you do decide to go synthetic on your stock, make sure you get a decent one and not an injection molded plastic one. The injection molded ones can be bedded and will work OK but generally aren't stiff enough to allow the use of a bipod. An oversize recoil lug never hurts but I don't have one so I'm not versed enough in them to see the need for them with standard calibers. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
