He's not a gun guy, so she just wanted a decent rifle for him to haul around for opportunity shots on coyotes. I'm going to lap the locking lugs, bed it into a new Boyd's stock (purple & grey lam - Go Cats!), and do a bit of factory ammo testing with it to find a load it likes for him and get it sighted in. Turn key solution. If it doesn't pass muster after just bedding and lapping the lugs, I'll do a more intense blueprint to true up the bolt, receiver, and threads then set the barrel back, but I'll assume it'll be a 1-1.5MOA shooter out of the box.
