I got My Howa, Tell me more about it and about .243 Please. I like it but I feel I should be having a 700 in a McMillan.
I can't tell you much about it as I don't have it right in front of me...
Does it have the bell & carlson stock with the aluminum bedding block?
Does it need a trigger job? (I did one and it was not too hard)
Basically, it's a japanese made flat bottomed action like a model 70, but with a trigger module more like a 700.
If you want to shoot really long range with a 243, you have to reload and you will need a 1:8 twist barrel to stabilize 115 dtacs.
If you have a 1:10 twist like most 243's, you can try sierra 107's and see if they stabilize.
It does have the B&C bedded, the guy told me it really likes Hornady 58gr V-Max moly Heres a pic of HIS 200 yard group with the V-Max.
I want to go out as far as I can With it. If I need a new barrel so be it. Trigger is good and adjustable, It's light, maybe 3-4lbs right now with a little creep. I really don't like the Bushnell Banner.
I already have a buttload of different .243 rounds in various loads because thats my CA dear cal. of choice and I have that Win670 already. So I'm gonna try out a variety when I take it out.
