This morning just finish assembling a entry level performing (hopefully ) varmint rig... A Package gun Axis in 243, kept the bases and rings, did change the scope for a 6X24X42 Varmint Tasco ( good for the price ) a chinese bipod and i bought 5 boxes of Hornady Superformance 58 gr V-Max, brand new cost for all including a 100 rounds...less than 600.00, maybe i will go zero it this afternoon, some grand daughter of mine is gone make some Ontario groundhogs nerveous, she is quite a shooter @ 16 years old, it is time to upgrade from the 22 mag...

Cant wait to check them over the Oehler, Hornady state they are running at 3925 fps, very fast bullet... JP.
 
I have the same set-up, aside from the scope and it shoots the hornady 58g very well. Its a great bush gun for the price.
 
Had one brand new for a while, since she only hunt varmint and the 243 with varmint loads as a tamed recoil, it is to be perfect for those groundhogs, my go to grounhogs rifle is a nef 223 wearing the same scope... JP.
 
Pretty easy rifle to zero 1.5 inch high @ 100 metres, the first 5 shots to adjust, 2 groups of 5 shots to confirm .75 with the 58 gr Hornady Vmax and they do run an average of 3935 fps with a low SD and ES ( pretty good for factory ammo) a pleasure to shoot as the recoil is smooth, she is gone get her rifle this afternoon and will be so happy...
