[QUOTE="GonzoK34, post: 1790987, member: 8915"] I had a Rem 700 243 that I gave a friend to build a LR 243 SM to hunt prairie dogs for next season in Arizona. We hunt varmints here in S. Calif as often as possible. Mike ordered a Hart Barrel 1:8 24 ". installed a Timney Elite Trigger, H S Precision Stock and a complete action blue print. We've been doing load development and break in. So Far it's shooting 3/8th inch 5 round groups at 100. At 500 it's 1.6" with 5 rd grps. The rifle before the build I had for 10 years and bought it off a friend for $300 cuz he said it wouldn't shoot. I offered to clean it for him but he didn't want it. After cleaning the dirty action, trigger and barrel I was shooting 3/4" groups and killing lots of coyotes. To say he was upset in putting it mildly. But he didn't ask for it back. Now it's a brand new rifle that my friend will enjoy and pass on to his sons. SEMPER FIDELIS Gonzo [/QUOTE]
