It looks like the reviews on these guns are quite mixed... they shoot.... they don't shoot. However, the poor reviews tend to be 5-10 years old. The good reviews less than 5 years.

this is a 2015 model.

Can I hope for 1 MOA with this gun?
Yup and a little less.

Do you handload?


Yup.... I handload.

Part of my pause is that I have a 243 already....Ruger Mark II in stainless laminate (sporter).

I've can do .5 - .75 MOA with 75 gr VMAX, 87 gr VMAX and 80 gr NBT. Longest kill for groundhogs is 435 yds.

Never owned a Winchester. Asking price is $700 obo. I'm intrigued but not sold.
