[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 604111, member: 30902"] Before I did anything It'd take it in and get it floated and pillar bedded. You won't know when you need a new bbl due to loss of accuracy unless you do. If budget isn't an issue look at the McMillian A3 sporter. It's just the nicest aftermarket long range hunting stock on the market today. If Budget is a consideration look at the Bell and Carlson and HS Precision. Both very high quality stocks but considerably lower in price than either Manners or McMillian. As for when it is time to replace... . If you like the Rum just do it again. At the ranges you are shooting though you certainly don't need to go any bigger and really the 7mm STW which can be shot considerably cheaper and with considerably less recoil and muzzle blast so that should be worth considering. You might just want to take what you have now into a good gunsmith in the area and have him evaluate the condition of the chamber neck and bore and he can then give you an estimate of how much barrel life you have remaining. Do that before doing anything else and then you'll have a place to start. If it's got some considerable life left though go ahead with the pillar bedding and floating, or go ahead and upgrade the stock and have that done at the same time. The great thing about the action you have is that there are endless choices for aftermarket upgrades and improvements. [/QUOTE]
