[QUOTE="ICANHITHIMMAN, post: 567909, member: 10414"] Ok so no scope yet, thats were we need to start. Having good optics is way way more important than starting off with a custom rig. Here is what I think you should do. You have a great rifle in a winning long range hunting caliber. Keep your rifle, buy a good scope, the NF is the best choice, get a used one if you want to save some money. Buy a new stock for your rifle anything with an alluminum bedding block is a safe bet. Next shoot your rifle and see what you have. If you think it needs further improvement contact Kevin Cram at montoure county rifles, and send him your rifle to have him do his accurcy package on. Then when you have shot out your barrel you can replace it. Kevin is also a member here and and a great resource for bouncing your ideas off of, call him, talk with him. The key to getting into this sport is applying money to the right things at the right time. It will teach you so much more than buying your way in with a pre built rig. Also you will need a rangefinder, wind meter and a PDA to run balistics software. Jon [/QUOTE]
