Ok guys, I am a long-time bow hunter that just started rifle hunting last year (white tail deer). I have a Tikka 7mm-08 that I love. Never even considered doing anything to it until I started reading this forum. It has opened my eyes to a whole new world of modifying (improving) rifles. So I am hoping you guys can shed some light on a bunch of newbie questions I have about this.
1) Why replace the barrel stock? Does that have any effect on how the gun operates?
2) What is bedding and why is might that be helpful?
3) What is bottom metal and why is that important?
4) Beside looks, is there a reason to fluting the bolt?
5) What makes a trigger a good trigger?
I appreciate any insight you guys might have!
