USGMP18MN 243 Win.

[03Rick]

[FONT=&quot]Thinking of ordering a USGMP18MN single shot break action in 243. I think it is the same model gun that Remington offered at one time. The price is listed at under $225.00 with free shipping. [/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]As I won't have an opportunity to see and feel the gun prior to buying it I am looking for help from this group.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]I have read that I could possibility have to replace the week extractor spring, hone the trigger sear and install a scope rail. Other than that I'm hoping that all the people on this site will provide some input on the gun, how it shoots and the gun's general quality.[/FONT]

what are you shooting at? why did you decide on this one instead of a remington 700??

yots and mid range deer and antelope. I didn't like the exposed hammers on the H&R or Contender. I also didn't want to plunk down $800+ for a 700 if the 342 Win cartridge didn't suit me.

you can get a rem 700 varmint with a scope for 500 from dicks and others. that would be great for coyote, deer and antelope. i have no experiece with the rifle you mentioned. i have harvested some deer and over 250 coyotes. get a good gun they last a long long time. they are the cheapest part of the hunt

I think any of the following would be better.
Stevens 200
Marlin xs7
Ruger american
savage axis
Rem 700 adl

All of these would be easier to get to shoot well. I have heard or seen very little good about the Russian made single shots.

if decide to sell you get 80-90 cent on the dollar instead of .10
