Hi L. Cooper,
The main reason I am not fond of the .243 Win is it's perchant for one rifle will shoot the 100 grn bullets realy well whilst another of the same make model will not shoot them worth anything at all. I am hoping that the 6mm remington wiht it's 1 in 10" twist will shoot them well.
Also the Police like to try to force you to have the minimum calibre for Deer stalking which is commonly the .243" as the law says minimum of 6mm. I doubt many police officers have seen or even heard of the 6mm Remington
Now I brought the rifle as I wanted an example of the P-H varmint rifle, however I do like to shoot my rifles when I get the chance and hunting is as a good a use as any other I can think of so .............. One day I may get a version of BSA's heavy barreled model as well.
