[QUOTE="Maxxis31, post: 1064614, member: 61079"] I would make sure the barrel is floating in the current stock, if it is not either shim it so it is or bed the stock. I would just shim if you are planning on changing the stock, personally I really like the HS Precision stocks a lot and would try it out. If you plan on changing though don't bed it because you should be able to sell it to get some money back and it will be worth a lot less bedded to your rifle. I am sure the barrel is already floated. Your accuracy will not change, POI should not change if you are using a bubble and proper eye alignment, regardless of the stock. A good trigger will tighten up groups most likely on any load. Break could possibly change your POI but shouldn't effect your load. Barrel should be good and capable of sub MOA easy. Those rifles are typically one of the most accurate factory rifles made and should be Sub-MOA without any mods with a decent load. A scope wont change your accuracy at all just the POI, just zero the new scope in and you will be good to go. I would work up a load and get it shooting good before doing any mods. The first mod I would do is upgrade the factory trigger depending on how old the rifle is it could make a huge difference. Shilen triggers are on sell at Mid West Gun Works for $69 + shipping. If your rifle has the newer Remington trigger you will have to buy a safety kit also or even a factory Remington safety off of ebay for a few bucks. If it has the original style Remington trigger you can use your safety. The stock is the last thing I would change because it will make the least difference in the way the rifle shoots IMO. The HS stock that is on the rifle has a full bedding block out of aluminum. The game scout has nothing but you can pay extra for pillars, IMO the HS is a better stock and you will only drop about 8oz of weight, but you will gain some back with the bedding you will add. The game scout is cool looking though??? You also don't need a super nice NF scope to get a good load worked up. [/QUOTE]
