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.
Probably about the same in accuracy more or less.

Owning more of one rifle chambered in the same cartridge should not stop you. wink
