[QUOTE="Sam In Va, post: 181717, member: 953"] I built a 243 Ackley Improved in a table gun for long range groundhoggin'. I built it on a Remington 788 bedded into a BR stock Topped w/ a Leupy 18-40 50 mm side focus. Specs: Shilen Barrel, 10 twist, 28.5 " long. Cleaned up neck. I'm shooting the 70 grain Sierra Blitzkings at 3850 fps. I got into the 500 yard club with this rig and have made shots out to 880 yards with this rig. This is about as far (range) as I have access to shoot. So this fits my needs fine... my buddy shoots the same bullet outta his 6 BR and it is very accurate, but does loose steam at about 475-500 yards on groundhogs. My 243AI is flat shooting and I thoroughly enjoy it...when it was new it would consistantly shoot .75" at 325 yards... may have been better if in the hands of a more competent shooter...hehehehe I wouldn't hesitate building another one.
