I am going to put a better scope on it and give it a whirl. One thing that has me worried is the .243 = 1000 rounds before the barrel is burned up posts. My question is really a concern regards the softness/hardness of this steel in a 21 year old gun. Two thoughts are in my mind, if the steel is "softer" I might sell it to him a reduced price, or keep it and eventualy put a new barrel on it in 260Rem. If it is an abnormally hard steel and the barrel "could" be fine after 21 years (again hard to tell) I may keep it or sell it to him at "list price"!! If a 243 barrel is on its way to ruination will it shoot into an a MOA with factory loads or whatever you put thru it???
