[QUOTE="Dr. Vette, post: 456884, member: 22335"] With your new details, I'd first consider bedding it into the current stock and adjusting the trigger down. Or, just replace the trigger with a Timney or Jewell (depending on your preference and pocketbook). I had my 700 adjusted to 2# by a nationally known 'smith and it's a joy to behold. When you bed, most of the people here will tell you to not use the pads in the front of the stock, i.e. eliminate them. I just did a 700 and found that to make the ejection port "even" with the stock I had to wrap tape around the barrel which then lifted it away from the pads. So, I didn't even have to sand them off. Boatloads of excellent tips on bedding in this thread: [URL="http://www.snipershide.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=1167022#Post1167022"]Bedding Project - Sniper's Hide Forums[/URL] Your scope can easily shoot 600 yards if you want it to - especially at deer or elk sized targets. If you're bored, Leupold will retrofit adjustable turrets on it for $100-125. If none of that works, then swap out the stock. [/QUOTE]
