What kind/brand of rifle is it ?
Accurizing a rifle
Hey everyone. I had a few questions about what you could do to make a rifle more accurate. the things i really know of are pillar bedding and glass bedding the stock ( im not sure what one is better). and there were a few other things. I really want to be able to do a lot of work at home because it would be enjoyable to me and i wont have to find a gunsmith because i live in NJ and you cant find any haha. So i was hopeing you could tell me what projects could be done to enhance my rifle preformace that i would be able to do myself and if some requires a little training i would like to know anyway bc i would like to be tought stuff. again i would like to do a lot on my own because it would be fun and feel good knowing i did the work on my rifle.... Thanks for your time!!

Can't help you any with the Savages, just did a trigger job on one a couple months ago and that required stoning the sear. I have very little contact with that brand by choice.few remington 700's couple savages. i was kinda thinking in general what things are usually done you know what mean?
The Remington’s, a few things you can do right off the bat to improve accuracy is bed the action and free float the barrel, check the muzzle and if it requires it....re-crown, adjust the trigger to a more acceptable level.
I tend to disagree with “spitfire_er”, I do not bed any contact points on the barrel, I float it entirely (from the recoil lug forward)
When lapping the lugs on the bolt after the rifle has had a barrel already installed can result in excessive headspace if great care is not taken, the process is usually done to stripped receivers before the barrels are chambered.
I agree with “Jim H” in that to truly ring out the accuracy of any firearm, you have to find the right load for it and that usually entails handloading.
