Looking to throw a few upgrades into one of my rifles this year! i have been debating it for a long time and now that im reloading i can really see the potential of this rifle and would like to throw some work towards it. I am taking my first precision shooting course in July and hoping to get most of it together by then. It is a Remington 700 SPS Varmint 243. win sporting a Vortex Viper 6.5-20x44mm scope shooting 80gr factory under .5moa out too 400 yards. I started loading up 87gr vmax and 105gr bergers and both are looking extremely promising (just above .25moa at 100/haven't had a chance further). I dont have a heck of a lot of money to do some work so it will have to just be a couple things. Number 1 i hate the trigger and the stock! second the scope isn't over great, (nice hunting scope). I have a Vortex PST 4-16x50mm sitting around that im going to change out so it takes away from purchasing a new scope for now. Im thinking of throwing in a timney trigger set at 1.5lbs and possibly a stock. Either McMillan or Manners if i can find one and afford it. I would consider AI as well if i could get it at a good price but doubtful. Now i do have a buddy at work who is willing to throw me a SA HS precision stock for good price but was hoping for something else.
WHat would you upgrade on a short time frame and limited budget but will not cheap out? Rifle will be used as a varmint rifle but mainly targets and hopefully competition eventually
