Hello All, new to this forum and bolt guns bigger than 22lr. But I just recently acquired an older Model 11 in .223 Remington. It is a pre-AccuTrigger with a flat receiver.



I'm looking to spend about $1000 in updating and upgrading it. The $1000 does not include the optic. Here is what I plan on doing:
1. Shilen 16" barrel in 223 Wylde, trying to minimize my reloading. Still debating between a varmint or bull contour
2. Stock, looking for suggestions here. I'm looking to take this rifle in the woods with me.
3. Install a DBM just because, looks like CDI Precision is the only one that I've been able to find.
4. Trigger, upgrade or polish existing group?
5. EGW 20 MOA rail.

Any input would be appreciated. I plan on doing the work myself. Thanks for reading.
