[QUOTE="Rhett Crider, post: 1625466, member: 105034"] Go ahead and free float, bed, and pillar your stock now. It will only help. 2 1/2 lb trigger is fine. You've still got a ways to go on break-in and you've got a standard sporter barrel so your vibration node will be wider. Once it's broke in, you can start to find the the load to match your barrel length and speed. Back in the day, I had a M700 in 30-06 and found that Federal Premium ammo gave me the best groups. I would also put a good recoil pad on it too. 30-06 recoil should not be bad. I do not own any Vortex scopes so I will not comment on that, but you do need to make sure that it is mounted properly and leveled properly. Especially to attain your goal. For that set up, 400 yds is achievable in sub moa until you rebarrel to a 3B or 4 contour. And retrigger. My opinion only. There will be others :rolleyes:. My 30-06 is now a 300WM in said way. Nothing wrong with 30-06 though. Rhett [/QUOTE]
