[QUOTE="billm67, post: 1141635, member: 29756"] I was in the same boat as you. I have a Remington Stainless Varmint in 308 and wanted something with less kick. Years ago I was shooting high power matches and had a Remington VS in 260 that was bedded into a Fajen stock. It was a great rifle and I wish I still had it. When I was looking into getting another Remington...I was quite disappointed to see that there was no varmint barreled offerings in 260. I saw that they did make the 700 adl varmint in 243. I had a 1970's Remington 700 bdl in 243 and it shot extremely well. So the clincher was that Dick's Sporting goods had the 700 adl varmint specials on sale last weekend for $449. I told myself...they won't have one in 243...but I'll go in and look. Low and behold they had one in 243. I brought it home and I am currently getting it completed with a BC m40 stock, weaver one piece extended rail and rings. For now it will wear a bushnell 4-12 legend. I will upgrade the scope after some more funds become available. I am looking forward to shooting this new rifle. I'll let you know how the 243 does. [/QUOTE]
