The funny thing is that the Rem 700 .243 Win is one of the factory barrels that will stabilize the AM and other slippery bullets, and I'd say there's a fair few of those kicking around
Exactly,.. factory 700's in 243 have always been twisted 9-1/8" which will stabilize at least a 105 AMax. I had one of the VLS's albeit in 6mm and it shot the 105 AMax into small groups at 300 meters.
