[QUOTE="grit, post: 113772, member: 4112"] First, Kirby is an expert, and one of the most helpful guys on the site. I'm a do it myself kind of guy, and I'll tell you what I do. First, I play with the trigger. I've yet to buy a rifle with a nice trigger set off the shelf. Please educate yourself on how to do this safely, or have it done. Next I shoot the rifle, and see how it groups. I usually glass bed the action next (this really is cheap and simple). Then I work up a load. And that's as far as I've gone. Simply because, so far, I've been happy with the results. If this didn't do the trick, I would than seek the advice of Kirby or another smith. Now, I am a novice, and have only done this a few times. In each case, I started with a factory rifle that would group near or under an inch. After the little work I did, they'll shoot under 1/2". Personally, I'd put a brake on any magnum first. Also, I happen to like Nikon. The monarch is an excellent scope. I hope you got the adjustable objective. [/QUOTE]
