garyb Posted June 17, 2010 Report Share Posted June 17, 2010 Chaps.. I'm just about to add another calibre to the cabinet... 243Win. Currently reviewing a few options on what Rifle to go for, and to be honest current top of the pick is an RWS Titan 6 - as I currently have a Titan 3 in .223Rem which is quite simply superb! I'd like to make sure I'm not missing out on the other two popular options (700, T3) in this price range.... I will be reloading, for both Fox & Deer in this calibre. So say 75 - 100 grain ? Can any one offer some picture uploads of targets showing typical groups / general accuracy from one of the above two models? I see the 700 has a huge following, but I'm conscious it appears to need trigger kits and the like to make it shoot.. Something I'd try to avoid if I have to.

Vince Green Posted June 17, 2010 Report Share Posted June 17, 2010 (edited) Remingtons are good rifles but I think the newest ones are not quite up to the same high standard that we came to expect from the older ones. Still a top rifle though and like you said, they have a huge following. Edited June 17, 2010 by Vince Green Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mungler Posted June 17, 2010 Report Share Posted June 17, 2010 The one gun I shouldn't have sold was a Tikka in .243. Get one of them instead of a Titan. Titan's are the Lanbers of the rifle world. I think that means you smell of wee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dempy Posted June 17, 2010 Report Share Posted June 17, 2010 The trigger in our remmi (22.250) was ****, but now it is done the rifle i superb. Sitting on a stool and using a bipod on the roof of the pick up it is very capable of 1/2 inch groups at 200 yards using federal premium 55 grain ballistic ammo. i will say though that the nightforce scope helps a lot, could'nt get groups like this when we had th 8x56 docter on it. i knowit is a different cal. but the rifle is great.

I have the .2 targets and countless dead foxes to prove it How's the Blazegay? :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redgum Posted June 17, 2010 Report Share Posted June 17, 2010 I had the same dilema a few months ago and I looked at em all and searched every scrap of info on 243's I could find. In the end I bought a .243 remington sps and I love it. The Tika shoots very well, I did my dsc1 rifle test with it but I thought it felt cheap and didnt really like the feel of it plus spares are expensive and its not unknown for bolts ta break. I picked the 700sps because I like the feel of it, packing the stock with foam takes away the hollow feel of it. Its a very good action and barrel but to save money it is put in a not so expensive stock. The basic item shoots very well but there is a huge range of stocks availble if you want to upgrade later on. From all the reviews I have read on this gun it came across and strong, accurate and dependable. Also with a 9.5 twist it shoots better with 100grainers.

Beardo Posted June 20, 2010 Report Share Posted June 20, 2010 Thanks mate... probably a bit "posh" for my needs Only really want to spend Titan / T3 money there's only about £200 difference these days! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garyb Posted June 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2010 (edited) Seems you are right... Met up with someone today who has one like yours but in 260 - Tells me he paid £700 odd for it How does yours shoot? I remember talking to a guy at Bisley who was about to turn his into a fence post after a few issues! Think it was a MK1 mind ?

Beardo Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 sub moa at 100 yards out of the box (and that was shooting from a bipod on the roof on the fronty - i'm sure it shoots tighter from a more stable base). And that's the first rounds before i've even run it in. all the issues were with the MK1 stock, they strengthened the stock of the MK2. I paid about a grand for mine (inlcuding a Predator 8 Steyr Edition Compact). It's a difference class from the Titan and T3. If you want a quick shoot if can probably pop out one night this week. Trigger is dual use - just cock it and it pulls at a crisp 3lb or so. Push it forward once you cock and it switches to set trigger at about .5lb You'll love the safety as well, 3 stage wheel, with a 4th stage that lock the firing pin and bolt out of the way.
