Robby22 Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 Hi, im after a rifle in .243, but have very little knowledge of what make to go for, im thinking of a zeiss, or swarofski scope, but what are the best rifle makes to be looking at?? il be using it for foxing/deer etc. Im thinking along the lines of tikka t3, remington 700, browning a-bolt-also want a synthetic stock, and stainless/matt action and barrel? opinions appreciated!

Dunkield Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 Robby, do a search through this section you will see this has been discussed many times before. Remmy owners will say they are best and Tikka owners will say they are best etc etc so ultimately you need to try a few and make your own mind up.

deerhunter26 Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 (edited) hi i have a sako .243 with a t8 moderator with a schmidt & bender 8x56 and it is the nuts it has had thousands of rounds through it and it is spot on i can get 5 shots in a 2'' circle at 180/200 yrds and never looses its accuracy i personaly dont think there is much difference in the brand names of rifle as most are made to a high standard but make sure you get a good quality scope that is what makes the differance sauer make nice rifles my farther has got rid of all his and has 3 sauer 202 outbacks in .22.250, .243, and 30-06 the bolts are very smooth and quiet which is good for roe stalking the barrels are stainless and the stocks are synthetic with regards to the scope id go for swarovski as they are one of the best by far i have the 8.5x42 el bins and they are superb as are the scopes they make hope this helps a bit Edited January 8, 2008 by deerhunter26 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
