a spring change and a little Polish work.

Which Polock did the work?....

I did. Im a tooling engineer and previously a tooling machinist. Tight tolerances and alignment tickle my fun button.

No, don't put any money into it if it doesn't shoot the way you like. Its an inexpensive gun so sell it and buy a Tikka or whatever gun you want. By time you change stocks and trigger you're going to be pretty deep with cash. I would recommend having someone else shoot it to confirm its the gun and not you.

I’ve spent some time with a savage and two weatherby 300 win mags. None of them shot well once the barrel got warm in my experience. The most reliable shots were 1-4 and groups opened up after that.

I would not spend money to rebarrel a Ruger American. Wouldn’t the barrel and labor be more than a new Ruger American?
Did you look at the MDT field stock or magpul equivalent? The extra weight and features may help the shoot ability of your current rifle at a “Ruger American” price point
