[QUOTE="Scott300RUM, post: 482368, member: 30666"] I just bought the same gun, SF 1 model though, and it's currently at the smith getting finished up right now. He's blueprinting the action, truing the bolt face and lugs, replacing the j-lock (you may or may not have), bedding the action, squaring the threads in the action, taking the barrel in two turns, trigger work to get it to 2.5 lbs., and holland radial brake. Sorry if that jumped around a bit. I never shot mine, it went right to my smith's. I just know that I want the most precision possible, and the 700 actions don't come from the factory as true as they can possibly be (not saying they aren't good for most hunting applications, but they can always be improved). As for the cheek piece, google 'Karsten's cheek piece'. They have 3 versions to choose from and are cheaper than any other option. I just received mine in the mail, and I couldn't ask for anything more (well, maybe a McMillan A3-5 adj, are you listening santa). And I agree with everyone on good reloading components, a good cheap way to get started is the rcbs rock chucker kit, however, there are many to choose from. Good Luck, Scott [/QUOTE]
