Home Forums Gear Free Classifieds - The most awesome tack-driving .243 FS -

If you're looking for a .243 that absolutely kicks butt - this is it. Built on a WWII German k98 action, custom adjustable trigger, hinged floorplate, custom stock, & an old school Leupold 4x scope to boot (the scope has very fine cross hairs).

I bought this rifle last year for deer hunting but the reality is that this rifle doesn't suit the type of hunting in my area - I'm needing more of a brush type gun & this baby is suited for... maybe you?

I am asking $699 shipped - but wait. You could not have this rifle built for exactly like this for under $1000 - no way. Look at the pictures & let them tell you the story.

If you need more pictures just ask - I'll get them.

If you have questions post them here, PM, or e-mail me - I'll answer any questions.

When I first got this rifle I took her to the range. I zeroed her in 6 shots @ 25 yards - then went to 100 yards. At 100 yards, my first 3 shots measured 7/8" (I still have the target), & that was with ammo purchased at Wal-Mart on the way to the range. Imagine what she could do with handloads.

The only reason I am selling this is because I need the funds to complete my custom 7x57 that I am having built for me.

The pictures do not do her justice. $699 shipped to you in a plastic hard case. Standard 3 day non-firing inspection applies, if you're not happy just ship her back (insured) for a full refund!

This rifle needs a good home! I'll consider any offers and/or trades. However the first I'll take it posted here, on this forum trumps any tire kickers (that's only fair).

$699 shipped to your FFL - unconditional money back guarantee!

Howdy,Ive already got a fleet of 243 winchester bolt rifles and 3 of them are tack drivers I was curios what rate of twist your barrel is and what bullets its doing the super shootin with.........

Why do I feel like I'm on a used car lot?

Somebody is watching TOO MANY infomercials

But wait.........I actually like that floor plate.

Good luck on the sale.

Robert

But wait!! If you call within the next 10 minutes, we'll double your Ronko order..



anyhow a free bump & only 19.95

Can I get a ShamWow?

Nice

does it have one of those cool triggers where you "set it, and forget it " ?

cb <*)))>{

"Are you gettin' this camera guy? We can't do this all day!"

It almost sounds like you guys watch those shows.

But wait, order before midnight tonight and we'll send you (via Lee24) a NEW M70 in 375 H&H.....



Bump for the most awesome tack-driving 243.

However ... we do NOT have pictures of Lee24, a NEW M70 in 375 H&H, and his dead SCI #1 Yeti ... NOR do we have pictures of him, with or without a rusted out Savage 110 30-06, with or without a dead (or alive or *wishing it was back in Richard Gere* rodent of any variety ...)

After all, even used car dealers have some advertising ethics.

(bump for providing a forum for a rant)

(back to your regular 24HCF programming ...)

Twist rate - uh..not sure but I'll find out this weekend. I'm shooting Winchester 100gr Powerpoints, courtesy of Wal-Mart.

Seriously guys - this rifle rocks! I'll post pictures of the target tomorrow night if I don't end up working a double shift..

Id bet if this rifle shoots the 100 weight well it will be twisted 1:9..........

More pictures - as promised (dial up...beware):

Notice that she was built in January of 1963 (she's 3 months older than me). You may see some fingerprints & smudges from the high quality resolution from my digital camera, but I assure you - she looks much better in person.

She's about 46" long with a 25 1/2" barrel, Finnish adjustable trigger, Leupold 4x scope with m8 reticle, & a host of other nice features. No she's not perfect, but by God she can shoot! Now if I just figure out how to scan my target so I can post it??

Now back to our sponsor (I was thinking about Billy Mayes when I posted the "but wait..." thing earlier).

I'm open to offers and/or trades. I'm not really looking for anything in particular but you never know. $699 shipped (in a plastic hard case) & insured to your FFL. I am motivated to sell and/or trade this rifle - I need the money for a 7x57 I'm having made!

Offers? Trades? PM or e-mail me: darrellgoldencharter.net

Okay you guys have had your chuckles.Seriously I have seen and lusted over this rifle in person.It is a fantastically pretty firearm.I know DOG hates to get rid of it but he is having a custom rifle made by a great gunmaker and money is needed for that project.His loss....your gain.

Thanks for the plug Ol' Fella! Here's the target I was talking about for the .243:

That better be at 350+ yards or 3 individual 5 shot groups

I think you want the target to look like this


I also like the bottom metal.

Nice target! I have no doubts that this .243 can do much better with a little tweaking & some handloads!!

$699 shipped! Trades? Partial trades? Offers??

I'm thinking one of you guys out west need something like this to reach out & touch something at distance. The truth of the matter is that around here 70-100 yards is about as far as you can shoot anything because of the vegetation or contour of the land.
