Jesus! Would you look at what UPS just delivered me!

She's gorgeous!

What's your fav 243 Ammo?

 

[Suther]

Very nice. How's the trigger feel?

Feels pretty good to me to be honest

^^ I do like the Bars. My turn-off is the plastic release lever close to the trigger guard. It appeares to me as being very flimsy.

I thought that friends didn't let friends buy Browning rifles..... ?

Any other ideas for some ammo to try?

My x-bolt and my father's Patriot both love the 80gr Barnes ttsx.

I’d e interested in seeing some groups from it.

I'll post when I get to the range. Right now I'm waiting on my DNZ 1 piece mount and the Burris 2-8x35. Both are enroute

Is it for big game or coyotes. My sons tikka 243 is devastating on coyotes and deer with a 75 gr vmax

I don't shot a lot of factory ammo, but when I did Rem Corelokt shot good for me. As did Hornady American Whitetail.

Deer, unless someone asks me to shoot coyotes on their farm, etc

I like the Browning guns that I have and at the time I wanted a Bar MK3. A local CT had one on sale and I went to check it out.

Very nice craftsmanship and nice wood on it, smooth action and nice metal works. The only two thing that I didn't like are the bolt release and mag latch release. They are made of plastic and while I think they function great out of the box I don't find them to be "robust". That's just my opinion and I might be wrong about it and it proves itself in the field, idk. I'm waiting on the Bar DBM to hit the Canadian market...

I have a bolt action .243 which I use for deer/black bear. I use shelf ammo, Federal Premium 85 grains TSX for that. Tried different factory loads while sighting it in and that one hit the sweet spot in terms of accuracy.

Cannot comment on cycling it through a semi. Shouldn't be a problem, IMO...

Yea I'll try and get those 85 TSX federal
