[QUOTE="MoreSalsa, post: 2672129, member: 120766"] As to how it was shooting when it was a 30-06, I ran old surplus ammo through it as well as fmj target ammo, 150 grain Core Lokts, and Federal Trophy Copper 165 grain. It shot the Federal decently. The rest was bad. I'm sure I was not shooting all that well back then ... I've learned a lot since then. I'm not confident at all in its bedding ... no, not free-floated. In the off-season I might get it floated and glass bedded, as well as perhaps adding a Timney trigger (maybe Elite Hunter since that is what I have on my 6.5 Creedmoor and I like it a lot). I paid a lot of attention to the trigger while shooting and doing a lot of dry firing. The pull is not bad but it definitely jerks the gun a bit when it breaks. I got better at minimizing that with some practice but it's still there to some degree. I might even consider getting a new barrel on it since I'll have enough time to do whatever I want. Any advice about what to do first, second, third would be appreciated. In the end, I'm just trying to arrive at decent accuracy out to 300 yards. Once I'm there, I'll be happy. [/QUOTE]
