[QUOTE="Grumulkin, post: 849846, member: 8239"] If it "shoots great" why are you going to change anything? How do you define great? Are you trying to get it to shoot better or to look better? 1. The BSA is certainly not a high end scope and it would be the first thing I'd replace. I'd probably go with a Leupold 4.5-14X VX III since you're on a budget. I've gotten them used in excellent condition for as little as $350. 2. A factory wood stock isn't necessarily bad though a composite stock would be more stable. 3. I wouldn't bother rebarreling or rechambering. In my opinion, the 30/06 Springfield cartridge is capable of every bit as good accuracy as the 308 Winchester cartridge and, with more space for powder, has more velocity potential especially with heavier bullets. I once had a Remington 742 autoloader chambered in 308 Winchester. In the hopes of getting better accuracy, I bought a Springfield Armory M1A National Match also chambered in 308 Winchester. Guess which one was the most accurate? That would be the Remington. [/QUOTE]
