243 set up,

[rabbitman1]

Cheers lads,

I use a br and as it name states Bench Rest, it's so accurate it's silly this is my 2nd one, I also use a 243 and it shoots so well it's silly,

I know the br would out shoot it all day long, but what I'm saying is simple, the 243 as a stalking performs far better than I expected it to,in fact if someone wants to Coe and shoot it before I strip the scope off then please do,

My asking price of this rifle with a moderator and rings is far lower than I paid for the rifle so I think it's a great deal for someone, but for someone to jump on the thread and have a go was not expected or needed,

So.

If anyone is interested in what in my eyes is a cracking stalking rifle ( not a bench rest comp rifle) then its still here and Its still for sale at a silly price,

£410 shipped,

Please note: if you have no interest in the sale above,

THEN PLEASE DON'T POST ON MY THREAD,

THANK YOU,

Regards

Bob.

Bob you are quite right in complaining if you feel I have affected the sale of your rifle as I have had the same on various other forums from people that should not have posted certain things about item I have been selling. Please feel free to get admin to remove my posts if you feel they have had an impact although I don't think they have as you were selling it long before I posted. At the end of the day it doesn't matter a shit what you paid for it, it's obviously priced too dear or it would have sold by now. As it's more of a stalking rifle it may sell better on the stalking directory?
As I have said before good luck with the sale.

I too am no stranger to custom br's bob. A good BR will piss all over any 243 period! Having spent years with br's and 243's etc and being very anal with load development all my br's have been considerably better than any 243 I have had and I have had some top ones with RPA's etc.[/quote]

My .243 shoots 1/4" groups with reloaded ammo at 100m and 1/2" with quality factory ammo so I can't quite agree with the statement..... You can only speak as you find. If I set this rifle up as a pure Bench Rest rifle it would shoot smaller groups. I'm shooting off a bipod with a rear sand bag. Still wishing you the best with the sale Bob.

Not getting into a dick measuring contest but Kevin have you ever had a quality 6MM BR? I doubt it to be honest otherwise you would recognise the accuracy difference. Why do you think the 243 never wins anything in bench rest target shooting? It's because it's not as accurate as the likes of the 6MM BR that is fact.[/quote]

My ONLY point was that MY .243 rifle shoots 1/4" groups at 100m. If I put it in a 'lead sled' it would shoot even better but it is a hunting rifle with a 21/2lb trigger and it's not even bedded! I appreciate that the 6mmBR shoots superbly but in 'real world' shooting the .243 is more accurate than you need if you get a good one! It seems like Bob and I have good ones Happy days.

I take it to the range along with my .22Hornet and they usually shoot the best groups of the day! Mind you some if the old boys struggle to see the target properly these days

Glad you are happy with your 6mmBR
