[QUOTE="Ksmirk, post: 850403, member: 880"] There is a number of stock options for your rifle that wont hurt the bank account too bad, I know of several folks me being one that own the Bell and Carlson stocks I think mine was $215 to the door. Do a search on Remington 700 stocks and get ready to spend some time looking! I believe the place I got my last stock was Stocky Stocks but there are many places and many different prices so shop and you can save some bucks. I would recommend upgrading your scope the first scope I had for LR was a Bushnell 3200 in 10x40, I used this scope for close to 5 years then upgraded now my brother has the Bushnell and it works as good now as it did and I think you can find them for right around $200 and yes for tactical shooting a straight 10X is plenty out to 1K if you want to punch paper well it's a whole other game! One of the best things you can do to your rifle is a good trigger job! it makes all the difference believe me and others will tell you the same. I don't know if you reload but that would be another thing that would help out with the volume of shooting you will need to do and a custom tuned round to your rifle will make a huge difference. This is a shot in the dark but I would bet you would think you had bought a new rifle if you get a good stock, glass bed it, a trigger job, and roll your own ammo I'm pretty sure you'll be amazed at the difference and should not set you back a bunch, the reloading equipment for a good RCBS starter kit I would guess $300, if your not against DIY the bedding job you can handle yourself it's not too difficult REALLY! no idea but I'd guess less than $100 on the trigger job but the older Remington triggers are pretty easy just remember to let someone do it if you think your not up for it. Any questions you might have please feel free to ask! I don't know it all but what I don't know I can probably point you to a person that does know. Good luck! Later, Oh and Bobby's world will give you a quick idea about LR but be sure you have a little clue before you head down there, if you give him a shout he may let you go shoot on a weekend he has nothing going on.
