Hello folks.

Pretty pleased with my first DG rifle, Modern production Model 70 Safari Express in 375 H&H. Scored a free safari with Kuche Safaris to boot! But I digress...
This rifle has a decent wood stock, and I'd like to refinish it. But while its in the buff, some perspective on anything I can do to fine tune it would be appreciated. Not into blaming the equipment when im the one pulling the shots.

Thinking pillars and glass bedding to help tighten things up. May get a Timney trigger if I can't get the pull weight I want with the stock trigger. Modern iron sights are 50/50 for me, so a scope is a must. My available options are either a 1-6x24 Vortex Razor HD-E or a 1-4.5x24 leupold 4HD. With a dark horse being the 1-8x24 Vortex Strike Eagle. I like the price points and the fact I have some reticle placement to practice with. All said and done will probably use integrated scope rings, unless I can get these irons "regulated".
Sorry if this has been explored in the past, if there are any issues with the post ill take it down. Thanks again for everyone's time and consideration.
 
All sound like great moves to improve it. I'd opt for the beefy Razor 1-6 out of those choices.

Fyi, Getting the original poly finish off the stock is going to be a big headache.

Hi Paul,
This is Daniel from Mankazana Safaris.

I saw your post regarding a hunt in Africa. I am sure you have been bombarded with messages and replies from other outfitters, so I will keep this one quick.
I have a feeling we have exactly what you need for a first safari.
If you'd like to hear more, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Yours sincerely,
