    Opinions on 243 win rifle

    Found a stock, had it cerakoted two weeks ago and I picked up the finished rifle today. I really like it and it's super light. On the bathroom scale it adds 5 LBS to my weight without the scope. I'll see how it shoots tomorrow. I'll try to post pictures soon.

    I have everything for the build or being shipped but the stock. What I would like to get is either the McMillan Game Scout, A3 Sporter but can't find one and a 6 mth wait is not in the cards. Both stocks are 2 LBS which I like. I looked at the Manner EH1 & 2 but can't find what the weight of...

    I got to handle the Remington SPS and Savage this past weekend. Haven't found a Howa or Tikka to handle yet. I'm also still waiting for custom rifle pricing, I really don't know if I can wait for a custom rifle to be built, this itch is getting hard not to scratch. So I've been pricing actions...

    Well I spoke to RWS, rifle build would be 16 weeks out, still waiting for pricing from predator. After speaking to both seems like getting a barrel right now is going to prolong the build. Still checking out all options, for price and ETA. Thanks for the info Redneckbmxer24 the 1 in 10 or 9.125...

    Thanks for the all the info! Slavage I'll keep you in mind on the rifle. I also looked at the Howa a little heavy at 9.5 lbs (heavy barrel) and the twist is 1 in 10. Going to look into the semi custom route. Rifle will need to be light to carry in the woods. I want the rifle and scope to be no...
