IF I had it to do over again, YES, I would put lipstick on the pig. Twenty years ago, my pig was a Savage 110 Left Hand Long Action chambered .223 Rem. Heavy barrel with a floppy tupperware stock. Put a cheap Simmons 6.5x20x50 AO scope on top. Dialed down the pre-accu-trigger. Would consistently shoot under 1/2 MOA with handloads when I did my part. Sold it because I did not like the floppy stock. Would love to have that rifle back in a Boyds or McMillan stock.
