[QUOTE="liltank, post: 612669, member: 13275"] This is some great advice. I was going to go the route of trigger adjustment advice, but also look at having the action bedded in Devcon or something similar. Bedding an action is something you can do your self at home. So really it is the cost of material. I also support the purchase of good optics and rings. You want that scope to be mounted good and tight (don't crush the scope tube about 15in. lbs.). With these modifications you may be able to have a shooter for less than $100. There are some resources on the net that can teach you how to set your own trigger if you want to try it. It will however void the warranty on your rifle. So it's up to you if you want to attempt it. I followed some instruction on my Model 7 and things worked out ok. It's up to you. Make sure the barrel is completely free floated. Double check with a bipod to make sure. Also you want to the get a Harris Bipod or better with a swiveling head. If you get the notched legs, that will help in making sure nothing slips when you are uneven ground. This will run you about $100 depending on where you buy it. Tank [/QUOTE]
