[QUOTE="Blackdirt Cowboy, post: 1525419, member: 108138"] Thanks for all the great info. I think I’ve got a plan now. I think I’m going to use my current setup to work out to 800-1000 yards. I know it’s not ideal, but it’s what I’ve got and I love the gun. If/when I shoot the barrel out or hone my skills to where the gun is holding me back, I’ll make the determination then to rebarrel or get a different gun. I know at some point I’ll get some new glass as well. I’m just gonna have to poor boy it for a while. I’m at the beginning of a string of four kids that’ll all be in college within the next 6 years. So my plan is: 1. Start working out to longer distances with the gun as is. 2. Start reloading my ammunition. 3. Possibly glass bed the action and free float the barrel if I’m not happy with its accuracy. 4. Rebarrel/new glass/new gun depending on what my experience is. 5. Shoot some steel from a long *** distance and have a blast doing it. I hope y’all are a patient bunch, because I know I’ll have a ton of questions on the way. [/QUOTE]
