[QUOTE="7Rum Slayer, post: 2439348, member: 113894"] Well I generally avoid the Creedmoor discussion altogether but I'll toss in my 2 cents. I had one built early on in the craze and used my old Rem 700 .243 to do it. I had around 2500 rounds fired out of the factory .243 barrel and it was shot out! I hand picked the Brux #5 stainless 1-8 twist barrel, McMillan Gamescout, Schilen trigger and sent all to a well known gunsmith. As a long range hunter I find I shoot more targets that anything else and I wanted this to be a 1000 yard plate pounder. I was also hoping to fire factory ammo to save some time in the reloading room as I load for several calibers. What I got back from the Smith was a thing of beauty, one of the most accurate and consistent rifles I own bar none! It shoots the original Prime 130 OTM match ammo ridiculously accurate. My personal best 3 shot group was a sub 6 inch 3 shot group at 1505 yards! My then 11 year old Son was ringing steel at 1200 yards with that combo with ease. I have had several 2 or 3 inch groups at 1000. It is a legitimate 1/4 Moa rifle. Is it the greatest or the best? I don't think so, but for me it fills a niche in my rifle collection and I am super happy when I take it out and shoot. So I can honestly say that it is no .243, not even close!! cheers, Jason [/QUOTE]
