[QUOTE="ATH, post: 344675, member: 1656"] Neither a scope nor a brake will improve the inherent accuracy of your rifle, although both MAY contribute to accuracy through either better aiming precision or reducing flinch due to recoil. I would suggest the scope is probably the worst value, any decent 3-9X scope will offer you sufficient aiming precision at the ranges you quote. The two things I would recommend are: 1) Reloading - the reasons why are too numerous to even start on. Do it! 2) New stock, with pillars and bedded -- Your factory stock is probably too flimsy to really work on improving. You can get a good new stock relatively inexpensively, even an HS Precision would only run about $350. You can bed it yourself with a $20-25 kit. I have yet to see a factory rifle that won't go under MOA with optimized handloads once bedded into a quality stock. [/QUOTE]
