[QUOTE="Bwht4x4, post: 784199, member: 44672"] Shot the gun for the first time today. All that's been done to the gun is the new Edge stock, a Jewell trigger, Talley rings and a Leupold VX-II 6-18x40mm scope. I have not tried to bed it yet. These were my two final 100 yard five shoot groups after breaking it in. Some might think this are fine, but I'm still thinking it can do better. I plan on bedding it soon, but I wonder what things a gunsmith can do to wring out a little more accuracy (things that I can't do) before I bed it. I'd like to keep the stock barrel, but would swap it out if I can't get to where I want it to go. Which of these would people say could garner the best results in accuracy for the money spent? -True bolt lugs -True receiver lugs -Square receiver to barrel -Check crown and possibly re-crown -Larger recoil lug (i.e. Tubbs, Kampfield, etc.) -???
