[QUOTE="winmag, post: 379506, member: 22166"] Youve got great advise so far, but I have a question for you. What size groups will it consistantly shoot at 100 yds? part B to this question, do you hand load? and Im on a roll so Ill ask another how far have you practiced with your current set up? Reason Im curious is this. If itll hold say 1''- 1 1/4'' groups with factory ammo at 100, and you start handloading(Im assuming you dont yet?) youll most likely shrink your groups. Hand loading will tell you alot more about your rifle than you ever wanted to know, but need to know. Put that togather with a good triger, and a decent stock, or like Roy said fix/modify yours, and you may have a shooter that does quite well. Well enough to get you by untill you want to re barrel it anyway. Either way youll want to be handloading for a L/R rifle anyway, so why not start there and see what she'll do? Just my 2cents. Good luck [/QUOTE]
