[QUOTE="Scot E, post: 648959, member: 10832"] With hand-loads you will be surprised with what you can do with that gun/cartridge. With the 165-208 gr. class bullets you will have a very valid LR gun to 1/2 mile on just about anything in North America especially elk and under sized game. Be sure to watch the downrange velocity numbers and how they correspond to what you need for proper bullet expansion with whatever bullet you choose. Simple and inexpensive- I would start with Burris signature rings. With the inserts you can add additional scope adjustment if needed and they hold great and make no ring marks on your scope! A must have IMO! Shoot the gun as is before upgrading components. I would mess with handloads and see what you can achieve first. You may be really surprised! A tuned trigger and a bedded stock would be my first steps if you don't get the results you want. Good Luck! Scot E. [/QUOTE]
