[QUOTE="JakeC, post: 2581158, member: 115819"] You can definitely get your needs met out to 600 if you pick a cartridge that has lots of ammo options to try, which the win mag usually does. Of course the more you spend the more tolerant the rifle is going to be of aberrations in factory ammo. Competition in the segment you were talking about originally has really increased standards in the last 15 years and the likelihood of getting a turd is pretty low, but time is running short to find that out and get it rectified in time for this season, especially after going through enough ammo to know it's the gun. Tough call. Brownings are nice. My understanding is that they're pretty aftermarket proof so you'd better really like it how it is and not plan on wearing the barrel out before you get your money's worth. If you can afford them (and the recoil, they're lighter) then I've never heard a bad word about them. Only complaints I've heard are expense and I can't change it. "260 rips" is a youtube channel of an English pest controller, he's got a nice review of a Browning 243 they sent him to test, pretty sure he was shooting factory ammo too. [/QUOTE]
