older thread response - I would suggest another caliber due to the inherent design of the .243 (angle of the neck) lots of force/pressure causes the barrel to wear out quickly as a 2-4 shots scope sight in and the 1 or 2 shots hunting - it would be okay because the barrel doesn't heat up as it would with a 5 or 10 shot string at the range.

just my two cents based on my education from the University of YouTube.

Yep I agree. I like the caliber. 6mm is nice but 243 ain’t the one to pick for a plinking and range rifle unless your pretty well off in the money dept

I love my 783 in .223 , Have to disagree with above poster on the scope they come with . Mine held zero and shot awesome out to 300 meters and had good clarity , which is as far as I could push it at my range.

^^ X2! ^^

My only complaint is its heavy for a .223.

OP wants a range blaster, so extra weight is a bonus.

As a gun nut I finally realized two things.
1st - if you want to shrink your groups your bank accounts shrinks proportionately
2nd - the only thing I am going to out live is my savings
