.243

Hi all, bit-time foxer having a good year, most done in thermal (NO its not Cheating!!) also some deer but not into the work once its dead so don't do much of that.

Mostly rough shooting up till now bunnies, fox, pigeon etc. using .17hmr & .22lr 12 gauge. Looking to try something new and now have both .223 & .243 added to my ticket but yet to fill, any advice welcome. Cheers.

Looking for a left handed tikka t3, ideally a rifle/scope package but will consider just a rifle. Will also consider other makes in LH.

Hi all, I have just got my self a Howa 1500 243 and was thinking of chopping the barrel down some but I am not sure what the legal limit is on a 243 and what affect this could have to things like power, will the round get enough twist before it leaves the barrel and accuracy also what rounds to...

I know this has been talked about but my questions are slightly different... The .243 appears to have a better BC than the .308 when comparing a 100gn .243 to a 150gn .308 (which seems to be the norm for each respective calibre) - this said, then why do so many people recommend upping to a .308...

Hello All, I have joined today, and pretty much a forum virgin so I'm looking forward to getting involved. I have been a shooter all my life, shotgun and air rifle, but only started stalking in 2009 when I also took and passed my DSC1 - the shooting part of the DSC1 was the first time I had...

I bought a browning xbolt in .243 last year (I've had a lot of problems with it!) - the latest was an inability to shoot a decent group... which I eventually worked out was due to the rifle being clean!!! I was told to always clean my .243 after shooting - I'm a deer stalker so it's all about...

Hi folks, Facing the first rain here for nearly six weeks, it seems the appropriate time to ask for your help. I have trawled the Internet but have not found any conclusive answers. Some of us are "fair weather" Stalkers whilst others are out on the hill in all weathers. My question is how...
