[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 1718129, member: 5219"] I agree with another poster make milder load with existing setup. You could shoot 125-150 gr bullets. Add a pad to rear of stock when shooting off the bench. Set up the rest and rear bag so the rifle sits higher which will lessen recoil. As for getting MOA from the rifle, go through the rifle carefully and you might find a few things that are preventing the accuracy you want. IMO rebarreling is going to cost you plenty of money and time. You have the platform make sure it is sound first. From my documents files as it is too easy to forget some of them: Action screws should be torqued to an inch pound value. Leupold windage style rear base windage screws not tight Front scope ring base screw touching threads of barrel. Imperfection in crown Screw holes in wood stock too small, drill larger so sides of action screw won't touch Bolt handle touching stock Magazine box must not bind Recoil lug making early contact in bottom of the slot causing the action to sit off bedding or in your situation the bedding block. If you haven't done it a skim bedding in that stock could help. Front of trigger group must not touch stock Trigger guard must not touch trigger Uneven bedding--- tightening one action screw to see if the action pulls up at other end. Some stocks have an area near the front of the barrel channel where barrel makes contact. Remove the "bump" and see if it helps. If the stock has the barrel floated it should not make contact with barrel channel except the first inch or so past the reciever. Due to some flexing some rifles that appear to have floated barrels required additional material be removed from stock as the barrel would make contact during firing. Finally is the rifle truly clean? I talked with a guy at the range yesterday that was having accuracy issues. Discovered he only uses hope's #9 when cleaning his 30-06. I suggested he had a great deal of copper fouling in the bore. He needs to use a copper removing solvent. My fav is Bore tech eliminator. [/QUOTE]
