[QUOTE="IdahoJoe, post: 899239, member: 23980"] I have a rem 700 in 30-06 that was given to me by my father in-law. The gun is in good shape but currently has a tasco scope and a 5 lb trigger pull and the stock (wood) feels like it needs bedded and the floated. I don't really know what the accuracy potential is in the factory barrel because i can't shoot a rifle well with out a good scope and a lighter trigger. My question is what should I do with it. I would like to keep it in 30-06 as a backup gun. (though I could be talked into a 280 rem). My typical hunting range is 300 yrds though I am confident to about 500. My current big game gun is a cooper jackson hunter in 6.5-284 that shoots better than me. should i adjust the factory trigger and try it as is should I replace the factory trigger with a timmney should I replace the stock with a composite one should I replace the barrel Save the money for something else Decent optics are a given Thanks for the Ideas [/QUOTE]
