I'm finishing the painful process of paying off a Remington 700 LTR (gotta hate not being a millionaire). Found it used with a Leupold MkIII 3.5-10, probably the factory packge. It's in good shape, and on top of taking it to a gunsmith to make sure all the details are squared away, the next thing I want to do is spend more money on the bugger.
I know it will shoot well from shot one (unless there's something wrong with the action/bore that I and the guys at my shop are unable to find), but I'm interested in compiling a list of suggestions for things I can do to improve the accuracy/funcition of the rifle. Going out and shooting it is the most obvious, and believe me, with the 500 rounds of GMM I've got on order, I'm sure to do plenty of that, never fear. However, I've seen several posts, one about lapping the scope base, one about lapping and squaring the action to the barrel.
I'm not a gunsmith (that's why I'm taking it to one), but I'd like a list of suggestions of things to make mine go, "Hmmm.". Thanks in advance for your understanding, I'm used to just trying my luck with precision, this is my first concerted effort in that direction and I'd like it to be a good one.
