Browning 243 Shorttrac accuracy?

I'm hoping to hear real positive results. As I have my heart set on a Shortrax with the oil finished stock in 308 or maybe 7mm-08. It's my guess that accuracy is gonna be the best there is from a s/a. My fingers are crossed and all hopes are positive. Please keep us posted as to what you come across for info.
 
Kind of funny...I just asked the same question on another forum. Come to think of it, I have about the same number of answers. Wonder what the deal is? Not many owners? Keeping a secret? People ashamed to admit they own one?
Who knows?

If I buy one I will let you know what I think about it.
Regards,
Dave.​
 
I have the Browning in 308 looking to get it in 243 as well. I have the left handed version. So far I'm pleased with it but need to do a bit more shooting to give a fair reply.

there it is and in left hand, too! I think I could down size quite a bit, if I got one of those. How long have you had it? Please PM me as to where you got it from and the price. thx.
I know a dealer that had one a while back in 243, but don't remember if it was right or left hand.

I'm only guessing, but perhaps there are not that many out there?
 
Well heck, I picked up the lefty in .243 for a wolf/yote gun when hunting bush rather than field edges.

It is now wearing a Burris Signature Safari 1.75-5 power on a Picatinny rail for the moment but I have a Leupy gold ring 3-9 on hot standby.

Thanks for the input, I will let you guys know how it shoots when I can get a chance to shoot it.
 
I had an older model in 30-06 and found it accurate enough to hunt with but sold it as it just wasn't my thing.
I could get 2moa at best out of it. I've heard good things about the new shorttracs though.
