I'm considering puchasing a Rem 700 Mtn rifle in Stainless Steel in .243 for deer / coyotes.I looked at one at Gander Mountain and I really like it. It weighs 6lbs. My son was also a fan. It will be his deer rifle. My only concern is the barrel is tapered and thin. I'm wondering about its accuracy after a few rounds heat up the barrel.

Do any of you have experience with this rifle and if so, how is the accuracy.

thanks
