Have a .243 carbine, love the way it handles and the fact the safety can be reversed easily for us port side pitchers. Not much of a fan of the .243 cartridge, based on an experience 3 decades ago, however newer loads with mono or bonded/partitioned bullets would probably cure that. Have a line on an identical carbine in .308 but he won't budge off the $1500 mark
