[QUOTE="silverhair, post: 1627489, member: 109808"] My opinions? Not worth too much, but here they are: Harris SLM bipod. Talk to a gunsmith about whether the barrle can be threaded for a more effective brake. Make sure the stock is properly fitted to YOU, not a department store crash dummy. A very good fit can also help reduce some perceived recoil. (Made a BIG difference for me, but I have the wingspan of a condor and need a high-rise cheek riser.) No downside to adding pillars and bedding the action, fully float the barrel. I think that can only help accuracy and consistency. That said, make sure the action bolts are properly torqued. Some long-rangers change the torque on the real bolt to improve accuracy. I haven't tried that on my LR rifle preferring to LokTite Blue the bolts into the action at a little less torque than the max recommended force. Are you REALLY sure you like that scope better than other options? Especially considering that you want to get into some long range shooting? [/QUOTE]
