Im looking to get a 243 with the vast majority of use on the range. Budget about 1500USD 2000CAD plus scope, hand load only.
Must be stainless, preferably in a chassis or at least a crap enough stock to toss (price reasonably reflected as to accommodate the swap).
I would prefer moderate loads to prolong barrel life but occasional long range
Local range only goes to 300m but I would like to push out, probably not past 600yr as it would be a rare opportunity to try 1000.
Suggestions on rifle, bullets (twist recommendations)
