[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 346621, member: 11717"] These guys have given you some good advice. One thing I would do different is sell your present stock (You could probably get $50-$100 for it) and get a B&C Medalist with full aluminum bedding block for about $250. Unlaminated wood stocks are very susceptible to warpage. I wouldn't waste the effort of pillar bedding walnut stock and selling as is would retain more value. Do your own trigger job - I did two of my 700's, and it worked well. I would try this first before the recrown if you want to save a few dollars and see how it shoots. You might find significant improvement. Start hand loading as soon as you can and use good quality dies. I cut the accuracy in my Ruger from about 1.5 MOA to .75 MOA when I started hand loading with plain Jane RCBS dies. And 1 MOA @ 500yds = about 5". So you aren't too far from your goal. You could start with Black Hills ammo and if it doesn't work try something else. Sometimes to the cheap suff works well, it all depends on what your rifle likes. Shoot at 200 or 300 yds to check your groups, not 100 yds. Hope it works out... keep us posted. Good shooting, Mark [/QUOTE]
