Post by: dbllunger on January 24, 2009, 06:25:56 PM: It will work fine. If you are buying a new one I prefer a larger caliber. The 243 is a great all around deer (closer ranges and broadside) and varmint gun.

7mm-08, 308,.358,or .338Federal all are just a barrel change. There are others that will fit also with just a barrel change.

have fun with it.

Post by: catwithboost on January 24, 2009, 07:45:19 PM: If you look at my photos you will see the one I did some work on. Took the stock barrel off and put a flutted heavy barrel on it and camo work. They are great shooting rifles. Mine like 100gr sierra'a best.
