RE: what can be done to a new gun by a gunsmith
IMO, most factory rifles could use a little tigger work by a qualified gunsmith. After that, I'd take it to the range and put it through the paces. Depending on the range results, it may or maynot get anything else done to it. I had a .280 RemingtonRuger M77 a few years back that would shoot MOA all day long with Federal Premium ammo. The only thing it ever had done to it was a trigger job. Haven't had any other rifle yet that would shoot like that out of the box. Really wish I had that one back.[X(]
