[QUOTE="Sapphire, post: 484917, member: 32150"] So, I have this Mod 70 300 WM, it has the standard wood stock and has the boss with brake on the barrel. I picked this gun up a couple years ago for a song... Oh yeah, its the classic with the controlled feed... anyhow, I shot it maybe 5-6 times at 50 yards... then I killed a doe with it at about 40 yards... the noise kills me, so I just continued to carry my Abolt 30-06. My question is... with the standard sporter contoured barrel, boss or not, is it realistic to try and turn the gun, as is, into a thousand yarder? A 600 yarder? I have not shot this gun over 50 yards. I assume about "any" decent rifle shoots close to MOA right? I do reload and enjoy working a load up. IF I can stick with this barrel... where can I find a tactical stock, for a reasonable price, that fits that barrel diameter? I see most all TAC stocks fit heavy barrels?? Also, if the gun is a shooter at 300 off the bench, I am going to HAVE to get a new scope for the longer stuff.... I need recommendations. Do I NEED a 6-24 or can I do well with a 4-16 or something like that? Sure appreciate your time and advice! Ernie [/QUOTE]
