kevmag Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 Thinking of buy a remington .308 or .243. Anyone got any experience with these guns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver_fox Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 I reckon the remmy 700 is one of the most accurate out of the box value for money rifles you can buy. Great action and is infinitely customisable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kent Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 Yeah, a good rifle for a base to modify but at todays new prices there are better buys new presently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPEEDY Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 I have owned a bunch of Remington over the years, from little model 7's to SPA and XCR's and they have never let me down. I have also owned, and own both the 243win and the 308win and find that if 85% of your hunting is small game with the odd small/medium deer then the 243 will do, but if your shooting 50/50bmg small/big game or any large deer then go strait to the 308win and forget the 243 all together.

kevmag Posted June 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 i don't know what prices are like over in Ireland, but over here they have outstripped thier value over the alternatives as brand new guns go yea because i was thinking of getting the 243 and use 120 grain for deer and 50 grain for foxes. But when i have a .22 it will do for foxes and get the 308 for deer. Thanks for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garyb Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 Who makes 120grain 243 bullets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njc110381 Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 You can get near 120gr bullets (117gr) in .243 but how well they will shoot is another matter! The thing with swapping bullets is creating serious work too so it's better to settle on a mid point bullet for both. Why .243 or .308? WOuld something in the middle not be better or do you already have the slots? If you do have the slots there are plenty of .308 bullets that will kill a Fox - with that much energy bullet selection isn't that important!
