I bought this 243 in 1970. First brand new rifle I ever bought. Doc [img:left] ![[Linked Image]](http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p262/DocFoster49/PICT0309a.jpg) [/img]

I can't compete in the looks department either......some of those sure are pretty. I was cursed with plain wood, but I still enjoy it. ![[Linked Image]](http://i1381.photobucket.com/albums/ah210/mod19192/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_20160107_190442079_zpsedotfsye_edit_1452223777010_zpschz9fffo.jpg) But I've been happy with how it shoots so far. ![[Linked Image]](http://i1381.photobucket.com/albums/ah210/mod19192/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_20160107_191338_zpsuzsd0ba0.jpg) This was my first loading 405gr Remington 73gr of IMR 4895

That is my lot in life as well. Good to have a purpose  I love on No.1's with homely wood that others won't. Hunt the crap out of 'em too, though I do try not to ding or scratch as best I can, and keep them oiled. Did wear the blue off one in a saddle scabbard though.

So do I, but I don't see it happening. Actually, there was the Lipsey? special issue about 10 years ago in 25-06, but it was actually an AH with a 24" barrel - close, but no cigar.

The heavier b contour barrel makes the ah forend look very svelte. Never new there was such a configuration. Neat.
