mbogo,
i've owned two of those rifles (90's manufacture)and neither one ever shot worth a damn. recrowned, restocked and bedded, nothing helped.
it's my belief the 26" light contour barrels were insufficient weight for the caliber. barrel whip?
my M70 in 270Win has the same barrel contour.
i would rebarrel in 338WM, maybe 24", since you all ready have a fast 30.
