Looking to get into a 243 but need to start with a stock stick and work from there. In your opinion what is the best production 243?

Re: Who makes the best stock 243?
Remington SPS Varmint. 1:9.125 twist should stabilize the 105 AMAX.

Re: Who makes the best stock 243?
If it were me, I'd look for a Rem VLS. It might be able to run the 105Amax's and if it didn't it would run the 95gr Berger VLD and that's not a bad bullet. The stock isn't anything fancy but it is extremely serviceable. You'd have a rifle that is capable of getting you to 1K and by the time it needs any upgrades you should have a damn good idea of what direction you want to go with it. I don't know if it would be the best route, but it's the route I would go if starting from scratch. Good Luck!

Yea, Remy stocks are the pits. I was not aware the SPS was 1:9 twist. That might be doable for starters.

The VLS isn't the same Milkjug plastic stock as what's on the SPS. It's a Laminate stock and is very stiff.

The factory Rem 243's are 1-9.125" twists.
