[QUOTE="Cybra, post: 43160, member: 936"] As an alternative to something that doesn't cost as much, you could also buy a used SVM in .243, have a GOOD gunsmith take the barrel off, cut a different chamber and perhaps sacrifice about a half-inch or so of barrel length, true everything up as best as possible, and maybe have him glass bed it, or do it yourself. If done right, the gun should be able to shoot .3" groups, really. Maybe .5", but should hold them between the two figures. And their [Weatherby/Sako] factory triggers are tough to beat. I fiddled with one of mine, and got it down to a crisp break at 1.75lbs. This option is there for those who would prefer a Sako or Weatherby action. IF you could find one of those cheap enough, the aforementioned routes noted in previous posts are quite acceptable! [/QUOTE]
