[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 1171012, member: 12"] For what you want absolutely nothing wrong with a 243! It is more than capable of going well over 600 with the 105 grain bullets especially. A new barrel installed will set you back $500-600 depending if you have the action bedded. I would get a 1-8 or the 1-7.5 twist in the barrel also. [url=http://criterionbarrels.com/prefits/Remage]Rem/Age Pre-Fit Barrel[/url] These you can fit yourself for $370 and about $30 for the barrel nut plus a wrench. The local smith can put it on your action, headspace it and the trigger relatively inexpensive compared to a blank and chambering etc. A good Timney trigger will be around $150. I would not spend $225-240 on a Jewell, the Timney will work fine for what you want. You can find a good barrel blank on the internet easily if you want to go that route and not have to wait for months, Hart, Krieger, Brux, Bartlein, etc quite easy. The remage barrel might be easier and cheaper. Unless you want a heavier barrel, I would look at the Light Varmint in the Criterion and no more than a #4 or 5 countour on a blank You will need to strip the factory stock BEFORE bedding and that finish can be tough to get off at times. unless you are doing it yourself going to be some money. Here a couple stocks you might want to look at as replacments if you like wood. [url]https://www.stockysstocks.com/catalogsearch/result/?cat=0&q=heritage[/url] The one with the accublock does not require bedding, just bolt your action in as it is finished ready to go. The Boyds stocks below will require bedding. [url]https://www.boydsgunstocks.com/FindAStock?Make=3U&Model=182&Action=10&Shape=18[/url] [/QUOTE]
