Hello All,
I am in the market for my next moderately priced project and I came across a Savage 12 LRP in .243 with a 26” heavy barrel. I like my .308’s but I am looking for a good rifle for 500-1000 yards for stationary targets in a smaller caliber. About the closet thing I have to compare it with is my 5.56 bolt action and while I prefer larger calibers, I thought I would try out something new. As I have exactly zero experience with a .243, would this make a decent build project for my intended use? Seeing if there are a few of you out there that own/have owned this model to give me idea if the project is worth pursuing. Thanks for your time.....
