[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 253539, member: 313"] On the minimal side: Bedding and a good trigger job can only help and has never hurt the accuracy of any rifle. Touching up the crown is an inexpensive way to avoid any problem (@ the crown) that the factory may have caused when making the mass produced bbl. Second to that I'd consider also having the action blueprinted by a competent gunsmith. If you have the cash then I'd add a custom match barrel and heavy machined recoil lug to the items mentioned above. Personally, it has been my experience that you will be best served by having any or all the work done by the same gunsmith. Each smith does things his own way and prefers materials from sources that have produced accurate rifles for him. No smith really wants to pick-up where another smith has left off and has possibly done things in a manner that he doesn't agree with. Here's another reason to stick with one gunsmith - If smith "A" does the bedding, and later on you switch to smith "B" who does the blueprinting and ultimately you have smith "C" install a match barrel; who do you go to if the rifle doesn't shoot up to your expectations? Do it all once and be done with it. The satisfaction that an accurate rifle brings will make the sting go away fast. :>) [/QUOTE]
