Rifle; All work done by qualified gunsmith
Buy new "drop-in" trigger

Bed action
Follow "proper" break-in procedure

Take a look at the Thompson/Center Icon Classic. It uses a bedding block system, 5R match grade barrel, scope bases are machined into the receiver, and a 3 lug 60* bolt.

I shoot a Remington 700 with a Bushnell 3 x9 x 50 scope on it. If you will be hunting the Scope is as important as the rifle.Here in South Ga. the game moves better in low light or in the thick brush which also limits the light. Go to the gun range on a Saturday and shoot a couple od shots with other peoples rifles to see which one feels the best.
Nice pictures
