[QUOTE="Djbuttolph, post: 682167, member: 52321"] Hey guys, I've been a long time lurker and finally registered to get some input from you. I recently purchased a used Browning A-Bolt Medallion in .243 WSSM. I took the gun to the range, and it was all over the paper. I noticed the scope was quite dinged up so I'm hoping it's just that. I ordered a Vortex Viper 6.5-20x44 and will slap that on as soon as it gets here. In the off chance it still won't ground I'm thinking I'll likely sell the gun. I'm torn between what kind of gun, and what caliber to get though. I've been thinking about Remington 700's, or a Savage of some sort. I'd ideally like to buy a gun that I can modify to my liking (stock, barrel, trigger, etc.) I will be using the gun for deer hunting (out to 400 yards mostly), occasional p-dog trip, and paper out to 1000 hopefully. I've somewhat narrowed it down to two calibers, .243 Winchester or 6.5-284. I'm a whole 140 pounds so recoil is bothersome to me, and if I had a 6.5-284 I'd obviously have a muzzle brake. What would you guys suggest? Thanks [/QUOTE]
