[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 894376, member: 30902"] Welcome. Your budget is what decides the "upgrades". You have some good gunsmiths in AZ and that's a plus. Wood moves with changes in the environment so that's why most of us use composites or laminates. A properly bedded and sealed laminate is going to be just about as solid as any composite. With either type though, it's all about the pillars/bedding block and bedding. Start there and if you can get it to shoot MOA (one inch groups or less at 100yds) you have a rifle capable of getting you there. I love both the 7mm mag and the 300wm but the 300 is superior so I'd go with it if the budget is limited. AZ is a great state for LR shooting and hunting so you are definitely in the right spot.
