Howa .243 soooo stoked

[rasbo]

I bought this rifle awhile back and have not shot it until today,I ran the hornady .58 grain V max through it and wooza,what a shooter..I bought it with a cheaper scope on it and will update the scope quick if not sooner..Even with the heavy duplex It was 3/4 inch group by the time I got it zeroed in at 100 yrds,,I love it when a gun fits and performs well....

I do believe the Weahtherby Vanguards are the same barreled actions as the Howa 1500's and made by the Chinese. My 257 Weatherby is a shooter too.

Good choice youngman............

Now Campmeat this will allow you to have the Riot you want in Ferry county. You and the neighbor can go shoot off a few rounds and then burn down the old barn on the back of the place!!!

I love those 58grain vmax for my 243... Every time you see them, buy them!  I've gone through stents of two or three months without having them because I didn't need them when I saw them in stock, now every time I see them in a store I buy them up.

well not to far out,300 yrds or so,but Im a head shooter so I don't ruin any fur..I would like to shoot some targets out further soon as I get this dialed in

[Blacklab]

300 yards is a good poke. With that scope it will soon become a chip shot  Go long 

[CAMPMEAT]

I know a guy who gave up on building those big dollar, long shooters and runs a stock Savage 243 with a good scope and keeps up with the big boys at the 1000yd shoots.
