By enhanced, I mean dissembled, polished, lapped (bolt and barrel), reassembled with meticulous torque settings and loctite.

I cleaned out all bedding surfaces on the action and the actual stock. I LIKE the Accustock. It needs NO glass bedding. I just gave it a very carefully re assembly and 40 inch lbs of torque for each action screw.
The action screws are the only screws not loctited since they need to be checked before every shooting session (IMO).

Careful 40 round break in and following the copper equilibrium method. No cleaning until approx 250 rounds or MORE go down the pipe. Any increase in FPS or decrease in accuracy is sign for cleaning and gentle de coppering. Barrel is always fouled. This will NOT harm the bore when using good match, non corrosive ammo.

I am a rank novice when it comes to bench rest shooting, yet the gun produced one .33" group and several .5" groups (all 3 round groups) in the first 26 rounds shot with 168gr Federal GMM after a meticulous 40 round PMC break in.

The gun must have been built on a Wednesdy. It is a 2012 model that sat in a safe with zero rounds until 2015. The bore started out looking like glass. I have never shot anything so accurate. Here is the list of stuff. Its for SALE, BTW in classifieds. I need the $$. I will build the exact same rifle again someday.

2012 Savage 10-FCP-SR 24" threaded barrel (paid $900)

This was a carefully stored safe queen with zero rounds until early 2015. All other included items purchased new in 2015

Only 66 documented, logged rounds down the barrel. Forty of those rounds were a careful break in.

Complete shooting package of a tuned sub .5" group (Best group was .33") long range
precision rifle. This gun is easily capable to shoot out to 1000 yards and beyond with an excellent
degree of accuracy. It has a 24" heavy contour fluted barrel.
Metal bottom mag/detachable magazine system. Actual targets and groups shown in the You Tube video. It really does shoot less than .5MOA. Built on a Wednesday, I guess. VERY careful 40 round break in and copper equilibrium method helps accuracy too.

All screws torqued to factory specs and blue Loctite. Torque specs for every screw recorded in logbook. Extensive other data recorded in logbook which comes with the gun. Watch my 30 minute video for more info.

INCLUDED

*AICS type Accurate Mag magazine, 10 rounds (came with gun)

ALL PARTS BELOW ARE INCLUDED. THEY ALL WERE PURCHASED IN EARLY 2015

*MDT poly 10 round mag which is lighter and more compact than the metal magazine. Fits great. No binding after I did a bit of polishing. Holds full 10 rounds and feeds flawlessly. $50

*Bushnell 6-24x50mm Scope with G2 DMR reticle. MRAD reticle and MRAD turrets. Scope turrets and reticle are zeroed for 168gr Federal GMM ammo Paid $880 YEAR 2015 MODEL! Very bright and clear even at 24X. I used the 24X setting for my groups right into twilight...NO problem! I am now a huge Bushnell Elite fan. And a huge G2 reticle fan. I would buy this scope again in heart beat.

*Seekins Scope rings paid $135 Better than Badger rings IMO. Seriously robust but not too heavy. Big, oversize hardware screws made from USA SAE real Grade 8 steel (Illinois). Man, I love these rings. I sent some Weaver brand Chinese made rings back to Amazon earlier. Bought the Seekins rings from Primary Arms.

*Glades Armory CNC extended tactical bolt and bolt arm. Viton O rings for comfort
Lift and cocking effort reduced over 60% paid $65 This can be conveniently stored inside the stock pack in a zip lock bag. Made in Florida. Nicest CNC work I have ever seen. This bolt knob totally transformed this gun's action. All the polishing and lapping did not hurt either. The action is amazingly smooth and effortless for a stock Savage. Extremely comfortable in my hand too!
These should come STOCK with every Savage!

*Holland Precision scope level attached to the Bushnell scope paid $65. Extremely nicely made item. Best level IMO.

*Triad Tactical stock pack. Large Modular with bullet and spare mag storage. paid $100. I am a huge Triad Tactical fan now. Pack is built up to precise needed cheek weld using Triad's system which works perfectly.

*ATLAS type Bipod with ATLAS brand short length Picatinny rail for quick release. Savage sling stud
still in place. . VERY nice bipod. Used this to shoot .33" group at 100 yards. paid $65 and $15 respectively.

*VISM CVSM2913T padded case. This case doubles as a comfortable shooting mat. Case has padded shoulder
straps to carry like a back pack. Chest strap. Drag strap for sniper use. Case has grip straps
so it can be carried conventionally as well. Lots of zippered pockets inside. HUGE value. paid $60 This is the nicest Chinese made gun item I have ever seen. They really hit it out of the park on this one.

*Parker Hale cleaning rod, specially coated so it will never scratch the bore. This is
in the case in a special pocket made just for a cleaning rod. paid $35. You can barely see it in the photo in back of the rifle.

*Punisher Logo velcro patch paid $15

*Log Book of every shot (66 rounds). Includes all FPS, Temp, AMMO Temp, Baro and more.
Height above bore for the scope. $15

*Mil Dot Master and instructions. Fits inside stock pack. Shown in first photo but the color blends in with the gun case. Look carefully. Glad I bought the LARGE size Triad stock pack. I can fit the bolt, the mil-dot and a few other light items in the pouch with room to spare.

Meticulously hand polished bolt and bolt internals including the firing pin spring. Polished bolt lugs and bolt
raceways. Polished bolt face. Firing pin depth set to .038". Bolt cocking clearance set to
factory specs. Spring length set to 1.9" exactly. I did my homework on this. The action is flawless

accu trigger set at 2.2lbs. I dont need it any lighter. I am not sure how a different trigger would help me more. I love this trigger. Used Aeroshell no. 6 grease (same as Geissle triggers).
