A question for the rimfire benchrest crowd

What would it take to get an MOA from one of those Romanian 1969 training rifles?
Right now I get about 2 MOA at 50 yds and 3-4 at 100 yds.
I'm using Winchester Dynapoints, a 4.5X scope, and I've recrowned the barrel and added a trigger stop.

Do I have enough scope?

Is there a better ammo choice?

What difference would bedding make?

I know there are better starting points out there, but I'm trying to make a "sleeper."
 
Just guessing, but I'd try some different types of ammo--one box at a time.

Some rifles do okay with high speed, but do better with standard. There's no way of knowing, ahead of time. OFten, purely target ammo is indeed the best.

Different ammo like Art says. Once you have found sumpin it likes, might try wrapping several turns of solder around the barrel just behind the front sight........then shooting ten shot strings and removing some of the solder after each string. Might find an even sweeter spot. Then either live with the ugly solder duct taped in place or figure out a nicer lookin weight that does the same job. What you are doin is changing the resonant vibration frequency of the barrel.

Some are not only picky about ammo brand, they even like certain lots of the same ammo better than others.
