If .243 AI, be sure you get the right twist.

I have a 700 Rem. chambered for the 243AI. I recently sent it to Truman Wilson to get it rebarreled to the same with a 1in9 4 groove Lilja barrel. I bought the original used and shot it out. Well satisfied with the caliber.

TimK, 6CM you are referring to is the 6 Creed or the 6 competition Match?

It's a good one. I have a couple of them, made for rockchucks and pd's with lighter bullets going fast. The heavy barrel is 13" twist and was real easy to make it shoot, didn't need to fool with it much at all. Preferred load is WW760 and 70TNT from high 3700's to 3858. Shoots in the .2's and .3's, a very nice gun but also very heavy. The other one is much lighter with a 9" twist, and it's much fussier about loads. For varmint shooting I'd stay with the slower twist..
