One misspelled word and you get you're tit in a ringer, I suppose you have a secret decoder ring to figure out what the hell Stick is trying to communicate to us most of the time and are ok with that?

This 243 is just like I like'm. Cheap and easy and shoots like a million bucks. There's been 6.8's and 7.62's and thoughts of Quarters and Swedes and Creeds and Sevens. Some day I may get a bigger BIG gun. Think if I wanted to get all exotic and forego the old classic yote and goat 243,(and not with a creed), I might fall for a 6x47 Lapua.

There are 2 rules to success: 1. Never tell everything that you know.

I had a pretty incredible 25-06 with a Leupy Vari X3 6.5-20 that shot 100gr pills of death, making for a great deal of fun. Recoil on such a Heavey rifle by todays standards was of course very minimal.Nothing wrong with any of the fore mentioned suggestions, just fond memories of my Ol' Quarter bore!
