My dad and brother are tossing around the idea of a family elk trip this fall, and as I've already been considering some upgrades to my current hunting rig (or an outright replacement) I think this makes for a great excuse.
My current rifle for this is a bone-stock Winchester 70 in .30-06. I'm taller than average (6' 2"), and have thought about a replacement stock to help get a more appropriate LOP. I'd also like a new scope, as mine is 15 years old or so, and some new glass would be nice as well. Maybe a new trigger?
Does anyone have any recommendations for stocks/scopes/triggers to look at, or perhaps (depending on price and features) an entirely new rifle? I'm hoping to keep things around $1,000-$1,200 or so, but certainly don't mind spending less. Is there anything else I should consider looking at?
