I a big 243 fan though. A 243 always seems to be in my hands during deer season. I need several because I have a few kids that are quickly becoming rifle grabbers!

I'm probably going to move my 9 year old daughter into one this year. She needs something a little lighter than a standard sporter (700). I'm thinking about chopping a Montana stock down and letting her fling some bullets.

I'm kinda itching for a 223 Montana again too. If I do, I'll probably trip my 700AI.

Sam is gonna like that 243 Montana coming his way...they're addicting!
That's way too rational for gun talk. wink I'd like to rebarrel one like smokepole did is WSM. Factory contour through the forend, then slightly heavier to the muzzle. If I can't get my WSM project to shoot easily I may just try that. But then I'd have to decide between 7 and 6.5 on a short mag case of some sort. I better hope it shoots as I'm bad at making decisions...
