You heading back up the caliber ladder? Should I pack up the Ingwe Special? No...not really...I already have a .243, so this isn't exactly uncharted territory. And I feel confident enough with it that theres nothing in the lower 48 Id hesitate to use it on...

It ain't a Pre-64, which of course is a good thing.

But, but it's a 243!  You keep going up, you will end up with a 270 yet.

After you get the red pad on your .243, send it to me in Texas, then you can come visit it, I will keep it tuned up for you. Rio7

Next modification should be to AI it. Then we can start a 243 AI thread....

Looks great,Ingwe!
Why did you change scopes? You had a Redfield 2-7x on it earlier.

I changed scopes simply because:
A) I like the bigger Leupy Better and
B) The rifle was set up as a lightweight little carry rifle for climbing the hills. My climbing in the future will be relegated
to climbing the steps into box blind. A few extra ounces wont make much difference there!
