Also check to see if the barrel is free floating or not. My Model 111 in 30-06 is and the only thing that I have done to it since it left the factory is put a better scope on to it. Then shot it to see if you will need to do anything else to it. Mine from the factory will print under an inch all day long in fact just about a month before deer season is when I put the other scope unto it and after getting it sighted in I put 7 rounds under an inch almost under 3/4" at 100 yards. This was the last 7 rounds I had with me at the time. There was no waiting for the barrel to cool down as I shot them as fast as I could work the action and get sighted back in on the target.
