For the most part i would be inclined to agree w/ FLEA. It all really depends on what this rifle is used for (and how much $ you have to spend). I think a muzzle brake is not needed, but that depends on you. If the stock is really bothering you then you can change it but i dont see that as a first priority. For me accuracy is my primary goal, since I dont have an unlimited budget. A blanket may be nice, but beach towels work well for me. Also, what to buy next for your gun should also depend on how it shoots now, what kind of accuracy are you getting, and are you happy with it. Just as a general opinion, I would go for the trigger and the barrel, I feel these are by far the most important, but I guess that's only if you want to hit what your aiming at.
P.S.- I have recently started a .308 project of my own, it has the m24 mil spec. barrel and adjusted standard trigger, but what has saved me a lot of money has been in reloading. I actually have fun reloading and it saves me a ton of money. I would strongly suggest you look into it. I use all RCBS equipment and have been very happy thus far.[/quote]
