New 243

[todbartell]

got to sight in my new 243 today. best group was .8" (58 gr Vmax), worst was 1.4" (70 gr Nosler BT). It was -25 Celcius and I was a bit rushed, brand new barrel, brass that hadnt been fired in my chamber yet, sun in my eyes, cold fingers, etc etc (thats not a bad list of excuses!)

Remington Model 700 LSS with a Leupold VXII 3-9x40 w/ LR Duplex, in Talley lightweights. 8.25 lbs all up, coyotes beware!

Good tactic...

Bad day to be a coyote i'd say

 

[Fall Guy]

Looks nice.

What is the difference between this one and the former 'brown' you had?

 

[boss-hog2]

LOL--- Remington is the BEST excuse

Nice rig, congrats on your new varmint rifle .

I just got a 243 as well. I'm hoping for big things from the Nosler 70's, its disappointing to me that they suck in your gun. If it wasn't for the gun show this weekend, I'd head out to the range tomorrow

I'm actually drooling, your missus must be nicer than my missus . Want a varmint rig but will need to go cheaper.

.243

Hey...............it's a Remington.
Them varmint critters better run for cover.
Nice gun by the way.........I only have two Model 700 Remington's, one is a 1974 vintage .243 and the other is a Mountain Rifle in 7x57 made in 1990.

 

[crazy_davey]

It is sure a nice lookin rig, too bad it is in .243

 

[Ardent]

I too was bitten by the go lighter bug for my coyote rig. Remington Titanium .260, Leupy VXIII with turrets, Talley lightweights, Harris. Whole rig scoped and bipod'd weighs in at 6.5lbs or so.

You've got a Ti if I'm not mistaken too right Tod?

A 260 for coyotes? Sounds like fun

Unless you're trying to save the pelts
