[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 832014, member: 1521"] If you get a benchrest stock then you can shoot better off a benchrest. But this won't help with hunting ACCURACY. Do you use a bipod in the field? Have you tried load development from a bipod? If you're planning long range HUNTING, you cannot do this without a bipod. A-Bolt actions are nice, Browning barrels are alright, but,, Biggest issue with A-Bolt builds is lack of trigger options. The pull poundage is so high, even with all options expended, that free recoil shooting is out of the question. With this, you have to find a load with the stock pulled into the shoulder. Now vary that hold, any amount, and POI changes. This may be why you're only at ~1moa now. You're gonna have to get good with the gun, which might ruin your shooting of other guns. This plagued Savage for decades, and relatively few built on them -before AccuTrigger. A lot of shooters build on them now. I took a plastic A-Bolt in 223, fit it in their Eclipse stock, bedded myself, changed barrel & cartridge to 6BR/Pacnor, made it single shot, put in a Timney spring kit(~2lbs), front bipod, rear monopod. I shoot groundhogs with it pretty well(624yds longest). All you need I'm thinkin is good rings, good LR scope, good load of course, and practice off a bipod. [/QUOTE]
