The barrel was a simple factory MKX barrel. When new if would give a sub MOA Benn so long the memory is gone but probably around .75" at 100yd. It was my only varmint rifle for YEARS but for the most part jack rabbits, coyotes etc. Wasn't until the last 10 years of its life that it was used for PD and the round count jumped.

The contour is the light taper MKX used setting the barrel back would leave a large gape in the stock. Setting it back would probably only get me to the jump I have now by setting the bullet out. Only gain would be getting to use the mag.

With a factory action it will never be a BR rifle. I just want to get back to the .75 or sub level.

Since I was just told by the inspector yesterday that I had $20000+ hail damage all gun type purchase are on hold until I know what the ins will cover and if I get do some sweat equity to equal the deductible.


Just my 2 cents.
