Spent time and money at it.
Now I have come a full circle and happy that close enough is good enough.
Main secret to accuracy is, "If you don't feel comfortable, don't take the shot".

You are dead right Hall - accuracy is a fickle thing sometimes - never ceases to amaze me how much hunters spend in the search when at times the awnser is right in front of them - take my old 700 Rem BDL - on a target I would very confidentally put it up against a modern Tikka provided same scope - power and ammo - yet now likely well under half the cost - yes a little heavier but- some of the older rifles shoot - sitting in our local store is an early LSA 55 Tikka in .270 - lovely wood - and I bet the modern ones would struggle to really have a accuracy advantage and its all steel and a lot cheaper - and how many will not admit they stuffed the accuracy by playing around and getting the recipe wrong - seen that happen a few times - much head scratching how the fuck has this thing gone from shooting an inch to over two inches - well ya attempt at improving the bedding did not work did it - but what ever rocks ya boat so long as ya get out and shoot things thats more the main thing - my rant for day - and yes enjoyed it as I do dragging a fat little fallow home and putting it on table
