The very first thing I would do is bed it. A bedding kit from brownells cost $20 a good release agent and an evening you'll be set. Fill in all the holes with Modlers clay and spray everything you don't want bedding compound to stick to with the release agent. Brownells has that too but Pam cooking spray will work also. Definately have the trigger worked over. I wouldn't changethe stock as most Ruger Stocks look pretty nice unless it's one of those skinny black ugly things. Like the others said clean the barrel really good get all the copper and cabon out. that will likely help a lot in accuracy. I haven't bought factory ammo for 20 years. Reloading is the only way to go. If your not interested in purchasing reloading equipment make a friend that has a reloading outfit that knows what he is doing and start playing. After saying all this go to midways site and buy this book. There is a ton info in it.
