[QUOTE="AZHTR, post: 2241014, member: 105904"] My summary - I wanted to be proficient at 500 yards. Fortunately I can afford a custom rifle, but I like the learning process. (Probably not in this order) 1) Started with a basic Rem 700 7MAG. Shot it! 2) HS Precision stock - bedded everything. Shot it! 3) Jewel Trigger. Shot it! 4) lapped scope rings and action. Shot it! ——— shot better than MOA, but I wasn’t always consistent. 5) Bartlein barrel👍🏻 — this is where everything changed 6) A&D 120 scale 7) ladder charts and seating depth changes 8) understanding reloading variables ——- on good calm days I now consistently shoot sub MOA at a 1,000 yards😀 It’s a learning process education for me that I wouldn’t have had if I would have bought a custom. I also have a WIN model 70 that I did the same work on. I could have saved myself a lot of time and money just buying the custom, but I wouldn’t have understood the “WHY or HOW” Just my scenario!
