[QUOTE="westcliffe01, post: 918230, member: 35183"] What twist rates can you get in the factory barrels ? That will be a big decider, since I don't know of a factory 243 with a 1:8 twist. With a 1:9 or 1:9.25 twist barrel you can forget about shooting 95gr or 105gr VLD's with any accuracy. If you can get a 260 with a 1:8 barrel from a factory you might be better off. Otherwise get a short action savage and put a good quality 26" 1:8 prefit on for $320 and go shooting. [/QUOTE]
