Suggestions for accurizing a sporterized 1903?

I had one that will shoot a five shot group all holes touching at 100 yds. It looks like a three shot group. 168 gr. Sierra Matchkings on top of IMR 4895 powder at just under book maximum charge weight. It has a Bishop sporting stock with an original two groove barrel. The only thing I did to the rifle was put an aluminum foil shim about an inch wide under the barrel at the forend. I have the original group cut out from the target and signed by a range officer somewhere in one of my reloading pigeon holes.

Unfortunately, I can no longer shoot long guns and haven't shot the rifle in almost ten years. My Daughter owns it and all my guns now. When her kids shoot the rifle it will be the fourth generation from Father to son to Grand-Daughter to Great-Grandchild. That's called tradition.:)
