[QUOTE="Idaho Lefty, post: 2330103, member: 104437"] The Criterion Barrels ARE Chambered CORRECTLY for, the 6XC Version ONE, so buy some Norma Brass, Forster Dies and,.. ENJOY ! If wanting to, use, .22-250 Brass, you may want to "turn the Necks" to, a Bit thinner, Dimension ( depending on, the Manufacturer of, Brass ). There have been some instances of, PRESSURE / extraction "issues" using older / thicker .22-250 Brass as documented in Posts on Accurate Shooter. The Criterion Barrels have, a .104 Freebore which seem about, "perfect" for most, Bullets ! The .243 Win is OK for Hunting ( Not, a lot of Ammo, expended ) BUT it's an Antique, as far as,.. Design goes and NOT,.. "efficient" ! I HAVE, a .243 Win for Hunting and, .the .6XC is for,.. Varmints, Steel, PaperTargets and some LR Hunting with, the 108 Grain, Elite Hunter, Bergers ! My .243 Win is a Light weight, T-3 Tikka and the 6 XC is, a Bit heavier Barreled / Braked, Rem 700 SS "Lefty" RemAge and,.. a Tack Driver ! The 24 Inch, Criterion, "Heavy Sporter" bbl. with, a .710 Dia muzzle, will weigh,.. 9.5 Pounds so pick YOUR Barrel,.. carefully ! You will want at least, a 6.5 X 20 Scope,. minimum for, LR Targets / Varmints ! [/QUOTE]
