Both the target model and varmint model 243's had what Rule referred to as the #8 barrel. That was a 26" stainless barrel. How are you going to scope that beast Scotty?? I'm anxious for the range report. I'm thinking it's going to drive tacks.
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

And thank you for the info on the barrel BSA. I learned some stuff!

Very nice man. You'll have some fun with that one. I'll bet it will be very stable off the bench. That Creedo should work out nicely. Great power range. I'd be having a ball with that one at my local 400 yard range.

I finally have something to burn up some of those .243 bullets I got from you. Plan is to wear it down some with the 87 grain VMaxs.

Oh I’m sure any of the normal bullets will shoot well in it.
I know I have a pile of 243 bullets so once I get it set up I’ll get some targets posted.

Some 90 grain Bergers would be worth a look.
Too close for irons, switching to scope...
