[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 1065509, member: 68875"] I agree you will not need to start over on load development. If anything, some of those upgrades will improve your load accuracy due to better ergonomics and shooting techniques. Lighter trigger is easier to stay on target, stock replacement may or may not tighten up a group. Brake will reduce felt recoil, making the gun inherently more accurate as you will be able to shoot it more comfortably with less recoil shyness. As for scopes, there are plenty of really great ones in the $1500-2500 range you are looking in. Depends on what you plan to do with it. Personally, I like a FFP scope in mil/mil myself, and I just switched from the SFP MOA crowd. FFP lets your ballistics remain the same if you power up or down your scope magnification. Great for hunting. Mil also seems easier to me, as there are no 1/4s to deal with. Just 10ths. And a ballistic program that gives you a 10.65 MOA makes you think which way to go instead of a 3.1MIL. My new preference. In that price range, you can look into the Steiner T5Xi, the Vortex Razor Gen II, SWFA SS, Sightron, Bushnell Tactical line, etc. Nothing against Nightforce, they are great glass. Just more options to consider. You have a great game plan going, I look forward to seeing it soon. [/QUOTE]
