1953 .243 Model 70 FWT with a $35 El Paso 2.5K Weaver, $7 Leupold bases and the $25 Weaver grand slam rings, has spoiled me rotten shooting 1" groups one after the other with the cheapest Federal ammo on Able Ammo (about $17 a box)



If it only had a Kevlar plastic stock, match stainless steel barrel, jeweled bolt, engraved receiver, Swarovski illuminated scope and a one inch rubber recoil pad, then I would really have a rifle to be proud of.

VERY NICE rifle. Anyone would be proud to own that one. Make sure I'm first on the list when you decide it needs a new home

By the way, those rings and bases look good sir...

Nice rig there.

.243s are so boring....they'll bore a 6mm hole in just about anything that needs an extra hole!

I hope my 6mm is boring like that. Hopefully in the same hole with multiple shots....

Ha! It does BSA

I was under the impression the 243 was into'd in '55.

I have a '58 Fwt in 243, nice little rifle. They seem a lot harder to find than 30-06's and 270's in Fwts.

What scope is on yours?

Looks like an older Weaver. Mine came with a Weaver V4.5 mounted.

Ya' got all you ever need IMO, even though I've heard that the .243 will bounce off deer. Very nice rig Sir.
