[QUOTE="ohiohunter, post: 1134113, member: 55230"] A PST 4-6x50? For the cost of the new gun you can revamp your 700 into a LR hammer, don't just polish a turd, trick it out. You can float the barrel yourself. Just make sure there is no contact between the barrel and stock w/ a dollar bill. Then if it is the the tupperware stock flex it and see how much you can contact. If you can make contact grind out some more of the stock. I wouldn't waste money bedding the factory stock when used mcmillans and B&C's can be had for a few hundred. If you get a smokin deal on a timney go for it, but I would be looking for the timney calvin or get a jewell. Jewell would be my first choice as would it be for most people here. If its the sps adl that I'm thinking of I don't think there is enough meat on the barrel to put a break on it. Besides unless you're recoil sensitive and want to wear ear protection while hunting, I wouldn't bother w/ a break. Personally the 300wm has manageable recoil. I'd put the money into the new barrel.
