[QUOTE="NikatKimber, post: 926379, member: 423"] I have a Remington 700 in .243 Win. As far as I know, the trigger, action and barrel are untouched factory. The barrel is a 24" sporter. The gun is in a Choate super sniper stock, and has a 6-18x Swift Premier scope in a Leupold standard base and rings. How should I prioritize upgrading this rifle? What I've thought of: Change the stock, probably to a Bell & Carlson New trigger, Rifle Basix has been suggested Get the factory barrel's chamber recut and bluepring/true the action Upgrade the base/rings/scope Rebarrel Which of these are more worthwhile, what would be better to wait till I can put more $$$ into it? IE, I don't want to rebarrel it yet, as that will cost several hundred with gunsmith fees, and I don't want to do a cheap job of that when I do. Is it worth upgrading optics/mounts on my budget? Or just keep what I have for now? Thanks for any opinions. Here's a visual of where I'm at now. [attach=full]71290[/attach] [/QUOTE]
