I just finished rebarreling my 243. It now wears a 16" 1in 7 McGowan remage barrel. I don't have any loads worked up yet. I plan on using a 105 amax. It'll be a week or so before I can.

Nice, that should be a hammer. Good to see you went with the 1:7" twist.

Thanks. I built short one because almost all my bolt actions have a 24" or 26" barrel. I also won't have all the junk hanging down from it like my ars have, when shooting from the cab.

I thought about changing it, but I would probably put another 3x9 of some kind on it. Its 3x9 30mm tube sightmark, but the adjustments have proven to be repeatable.

I usually don't recommend cheap equipment of any type; but I own this and it is unbelievable good for a low-priced import....
