[QUOTE="jhendri2, post: 21236, member: 217"] The first thing I would do, would be to bed the rifle to the stock (contrary to popular belief H-S Precision stocks can benefit from bedding) and have the barrel recrowned, if that didn't work I would have the lugs lapped and the action trued, and if that didn't work I would have the chamber recut. Then if all this fails put a new barrel on it. Some companies will guarrantee to cut the group size in half (Hill Country Rifles) with an accurizing job, but your rifle may not need to have everything done to get the performance you want. I know 338 Win Mags will shoot. I have a Magnum Research Mountain Eagle, which is a Sako action (reshaped to accept Remington bases and rings), a Krieger Barrel (action trued by Krieger also) in an H-S Precision stock. It will consistantly shoot .75 MOA, with 250 grain bullets (it has turned in some outstanding groups well below .5). So the round has a propensity for accuracy and would be a very good Elk round. Normally, they are not very finicky either. My two cents anyway, hope this helps. Jim [/QUOTE]
