[QUOTE=Fuj';494277]For general ELR plinking and fun, a Rum would work, Especially if necked up to the .338.
And that is considered minimal. There is a new Queen in town. A Lady beat all the boys
at the 2 mile game shooting a 375 Chey Tac. Go big or go home.

As for the OP ? I would sell before doing a rebuild.
Well a guy by name of Shawn did neck one up to 338 Fuj, and for some reason he called it a 338 Edge.
It it so good in fact he decided he needed to build a better one, and i believe he calls that the Terminator, which it actually isnt.
Maybe he should have named it the Ahhnold.
As for Bushnell, they for sure have the ability to build very good optics.
Problem is building them good and also cheap, which is where most of the consumers today happen to be.
As you may know, Pa. no doubt has the highest percentage of long range hunters in the entire country.
And virtually all of them use large binoculars on tripods for both finding game and calling shots for the shooter.
Probably at least 90 percent of the hunters are using 2 spotting scopes in a machined adjustable bracket for that purpose.
And of those, by far, the highest percentage of scopes used are the older version of the Bushnell Spacemaster.
Im talking about 25 year old scopes and some much older.
And there are very good reasons for that beside the cost.
