Re: .243 Hotness
Its a factory barreled action.
I didn't have my phone with me on the group pics but am waiting for another shooter to send 'em to me.
I shot about 70 rounds and spent the most of the time doing positional shooting with the TAB Sling and weak side shooting.
The low recoil is great.

I dont know what your shooting but 105 hornadys in mine shoot good and 105 berger vld's shoot great (jumped and touching) both powered by H1000.

Re: .243 Hotness
I didn't have to good of luck with the 105 Amax. I'm going to admit that I was a rookie reloader with no clue of tuning the ammo to the gun when I tried them. I may give them a shot again. Right now 95gr SMK with 42.7gr Hybrid 100v has given me .497 groups at 200 yards with a adl youths model with nothing but a timney trigger, remington adjustable lop kit and some good glass. It really likes 70 SMK and the 85gr game kings too.

Re: .243 Hotness
You will grow fond of the 243 Win, it's is a nice little round. With the 105 Amax,107 SMK or 115dtac you will have flat trajectory and relatively low recoil. I am on the finishing touches on my .243. My daughter wanted to shoot some last week so I let her drive it. She put 10 rounds into about 4 inches at 500 meters with it.
