[QUOTE="benchracer, post: 482170, member: 22069"] If you replace the barrel, have it chambered for .280 AI. If it hasn't already been done, have the action face trued, the bolt face trued, and have the bolt lugs lapped. I like the aluminum bedding block equipped B&C synthetic stocks. If you want a laminated stock and are up to doing the work yourself, get a Boyd's stock and pillar bed the action in the stock. Where loads are concerned, I would give the Hornady 162g AMAX, and the Berger 168g and 180g VLD's a try. As a bang-for-the-buck scope choice, I am a Nikon fan. The Nikon Buckmaster 6-18x40 scope can be had for a bit over $300 with a Mil-Dot reticle and target turrets. [/QUOTE]
