[QUOTE="Jimm, post: 141270, member: 9"] Karl , You will be a happy man when all that comes together . The Surgeon rifles I picked up in OK recently are proving themselves with each new load develppment . I am curious though . 4 to 6 weeks ? is that for a finished rifle ? or just the estimated lead time for the action . One other thing is the Schneider bbl , I love them as I have three and they shoot like ....well they shoot !! But that is not where I was going with the bbl thing , what I wondered is do you want to shoot the lighter bullet weights in your 243AI or the heavy bullets ( 105 to 115 grs. ) The reason I ask is the twist rate you mentioned , 9 was it ? I realize that you may be only wanting to use it out to 4 to 5oo yds . and not try to reach further .With the heavy bullets for caliber you can do good on game up to antelope size out to 700 without any problem . They are very accurate as well if you have set up your rig accordingly . I had mine ( 4 of them ) set up in a 7.5 twist . I think this will give me the opportunity to experiment with the excellent 6mm bullets that "Wildcat Bullets" of Canada is beginning to produce in the 120 gr weight range . I have shot many of Richard Graves bullets in other calibers tha t performed in a way that was astounding compared to other premium bullets . Not trying to change the course of your decisions at all , just visiting with you about some things I have done / experienced with the 243 AI. Mostly just excited for you getting your new rifle . Makes me feel like a kid all over again when I put together a plan and have quality smiths build it and then shoot it ....................in the same hole ..........oover and over again .
