New to forum...joined for advice. I'm looking to further improve the accuracy of my stock 0.308 Remington 700 SPS Varmit with a Carl Zeiss 4.5-14x50 Conquest scope. My shooting platform is a Harris bi-pod with Protecktor rear bag using hand loads (Sierra Match 168 gr BTHP, 44 gr Varget, and Federal Gold Match large rifle primers). I'm currently under 1 MOA, but looking to get tighter groups...without going to a bench rest vice. What's the first upgrade...Bell and Carlson stock...Jewell trigger...other?? My next step is to experiment with different weight bullets. How good should I expect to get with this weapon? Any advice is appreciated.
