I love mine as well. Not a .243 but it is such a nice packing/still hunting rifle it about as perfect as one could find. Mine's a 30-06 and I run a reduced (2600 fps) 150 gr RN load out of it. It's about ideal for stalking white tails. I tried like hell to get it in 7X57 but couldn't find one so I settled for the 30-06 wink

Keep your powder dry and stay frosty my friends.
