Though i am really happy with my mk2 243, i do note more flex in my mk1 3006. Both shoot well, and i really agree with the flexing and pushing against the bipod causing problems. The 243 performed really well last night, taking a buck at 245 meters when we were has stalked as far as we could and were stuck in the open. The shot strike was exactly as planned, so happy with the rifle. I am not using the 3006 at the moment, on roe not reds and also reloading heads are in short supply here so it is retired till the stags and or supplies return.
I like the rifles, like the look of the stocks and basically the set up suits me, and they can shoot really well. However i am also interested in work that can make them better. Any pictures of stocks that have been strengthened and what difference this had made? Any details of what has been done would also be great.
The stock has a light rubber support at the end, if the stock is properly strengthened would removing this help, along with perhaps opening up the barrel grove?
Like i say, the 243 mk 2 is really good, probably no complaints but if something minor would improve it i would be interested to hear. The mk 1 could probably be stiffened up and this may make it better, again, any advice and pictures of work undertaken
cheers
