[QUOTE="cohunter14, post: 946052, member: 55580"] The long range accuracy is basically predicated by how accurate you and your gun shoot. The good news for you is that the RUM can easily take elk at 1,000 yards if you are accurate enough. What I would do is figure out how accurate you can get the gun in the current state. If you can get it to be a 1/2 MOA gun, you don't need to do any upgrades. If not, upgrades might be in order. A timney will definitely help. If the gun is in the basic SPS stock, I would not bother bedding it or adding pillars. Instead, buy a good stock like a Bell & Carlson with an aluminum bedding block. Free float the barrel and see what you can do. Once you get the gun as accurate as possible, then it is just a matter of practicing those longer distances, learning how to adjust for the wind, etc. [/QUOTE]
