[QUOTE="mgood, post: 1462519, member: 91188"] Thanks. A torque wrench is high on my list of things to get. Might order it today. Been putting it off for a while. It's a McMillan fiberglass stock. Not bedded. Nothing is torqued with a torque wrench, just torqued by my fairly inexperienced feel. Scope rings are tight. Scope bases came on the gun when I bought it. They felt tight so I didn't mess with them. (Probably been on there since the seventies, lol.) I just replaced the rings and scope. And the stock. Scope is Leupold VX-3 that I robbed off my 22-250, which is one of my more accurate rifles, with that scope. I think I have everything to get started reloading, including RCBS 8mm Rem Mag die set, several flavors of 8mm bullets, and 1K Federal GM215M primers. Just need to get a bench set up (build one or reinforce a workbench that's already there). I've been shooting up Nosler factory ammo and saving brass. :oops: I will admit that the barrel could probably use a good scrubbing with copper remover. [/QUOTE]
