[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 53607, member: 12"] Mountaineer It does not matter what other people think now. You have a good LR gun as is. The gun will shoot without major mods, however, you will find that the skim bedding the sendaro and a trigger tune are cheap and will help a lot normally. Might find that a muzzle brake will help you also in the heavy recoiling guns (VAIS for $150). Until then spend $28 for a PAST pad that you just slip on and wear like a shoulder pad for the gun butt to rest against. Pick a bullet and a couple powders, good log book to record all critical measurements and settings and then go shoot. Try to work up a load that is consistent .75" and maybe .50" and then shoot it a lot to learn. That gun will easily to 1000. By the time you shoot that barrel some more, you will have much clearer idea of what you like or dislike. You are in eastern us, Ohio, VA and NC 1000 yard clubs all have a "Factory class" if you want to shoot at 1000. You can also shoot it in the light gun and heavy gun comps. Probably not competitive with the custom guns, but great learning tool for you personally and to see what and how it is done as far as tuning etc. VA is hosting the IBS nationals labor day weekend with about $40k in prizes to be given away to include door prizes.
