When I first bought it, not so much. It had the factory red rubber butt pad on it that just as well have been steel. Shot it the day I bought it with 250 grain grand slams. After 3 rounds, my shoulder was done. :P
The stock wasn't fitted exactly right. I had my neighbor (gunsmith, now retired) bed the action, float the barrel and put a Pachmyr decelerator pad on it. Love it now. Have not practiced with it past 600yds. But very accurate now. On the100yd bench after the first cold clean barrel shot, the grouping is mickey mouse ears in the rest. The rifle shoots better than I do. ;) Then again, I can say that about all my rifles. :D

As far as the 243 having more energy then the 308 isnt really that accurate. 90% of the time the 308 has more energy. But both will do the trick on an elk if used correctly.

Might as well run the 110 grain round nose out of the 308 and the 115 Dtac out of the 243, that way you can catch the 308 RFN.Kimber Montana in 325 WSM topped with a Swarovski 3-10x42. 200gr Barnes Triple shocks in front of 65grs of AA 3100. Its done the job on three elk in the last 5 years.
As far as the 243 having more energy then the 308 isnt really that accurate. 90% of the time the 308 has more energy. But both will do the trick on an elk if used correctly.
Run the numbers for a 165 gr Gameking (.404 bc) and a 105 gr Berger VLD hunter ( .532bc). The .243 AND .308 are even at 450 and the .243 takes over from there.
Actually the .243 DTAC would have at least 5x the energy of a 110 round nose.

622yds-208Amax-93.5-retumbo-when i stay off the coffie it will print 3to5inch at a 1000yds,and shoot 3 times a week,we have a nice rang with steel nock down targets to 1003yds,makes it fun to practic.Looks a lot like my sendero. What mods have you done? I see the brake and cheek pad. Mine has a defensive edge brake and Wyatt box and is bedded. Just use a cheek rest that straps on. I'm shooting 215 bergers.

Thanks, yeah I love the real wood approach to my hunting rifles. :chuckle:
And Yes, I am on track to hunt this year. I have a planned follow up CT scan next week to search for irregularities in my lymph system. Hopefully I get a good report card then.
Thanks for asking sir!
