[QUOTE="dimecovers3, post: 121074, member: 3216"] Your rifle is very likey capable of 1/2 minute accuracy if you do three things: 1. read about and practice good bench shooting technique. Good habits used consistantly will likely cut your groups significantly. 2. Shoot only when conditions are PERFECT---even an undectable 3 mile an hour cross wind is going to open up your groups. 3. Try several factory rounds. I find Federal Premium excellent and have had stellar success with Hornady and I have read glowing reports about Black Hills. I would give up a little accuracy to get the bullet I wanted, though. Forget messing with the Sako----leave it stock. Doing all that to a "clean" Sako is like buying a mint original condition 67 Camaro, then putting mag wheels and and fender flairs on it---decent people just don't do it. If you want to go messing around, start over with parts supplied by your smith and let him build you a shooter. And after all that time and money you will be lucky if it shoots 1/2 inch. Not worth it in my book for your needs. [/QUOTE]
