[QUOTE="Dr. Vette, post: 1196867, member: 22335"] How bad does the Browning shoot that you don't trust it to shoot 200 yards? Even if you can hit a 12 inch target, you've got a dead elk. I'd clean it and clean it with Bore-Tech Eliminator, patches and nylon brushes. Use their copper cleaner if needed. Be sure the barrel is dry inside before starting to shoot it. See how it shoots, and then think about pillar bedding it and floating the barrel at that point. Find the best load you can, factory or otherwise, and go shooting. Add a brake if you want to minimize recoil, but then you will have to wear hearing protection in the field. There is probably a lot that can be done with that rifle for not a lot of $ that will get you where you want to go. [/QUOTE]
