hey, you can't kill big critters with a 243! I use the 105 hybrids. Really like them.(on everything.)

I like that. What's she weigh? How longs the barrel?

Laker,

The barrel is 23" and with scope it's approximately 9 lbs.

The Brux #3 is a pretty hefty contour and the bottom metal is all steel.

Since it's a mid to long range rig the extra heft is ok.

Couple of 7 mags. Not super light but they both get the job done.

Factory Rem 700 barrel/action in .243 Win, cut to 21"
Stocky's LR stock, cerakoted by me
SWFA 3-15x42
Silencerco Harvester
Timney 510

It will put 3 100 grain SGK's into 1/2" at 100 yards pretty much any time you ask it to. Mainly it is my coyote calling rifle but it does get pressed into service as a deer rifle occasionally. It does really well with an 87 grain VMAX too.

This is my go to hunting rifle. The 300 RUM loaded with 168gr TTSX @ 3340fps. It has proven a very capable load maintaing MOA accuracy out to 600 yards regularly. It has proven itself on bears, bou, and moose. It has been used in my top two long range shots, both on caribou. I shot a large bull at 519 yards a few years ago and made a 657 yard follow up shot to drop a wounded bull a few weeks ago.
