I really want a .243 also. When the time comes I'm pretty sure I am going to get the CZ 550 American. But you can't go wrong with the Ruger either.

i was thinking ruger beacuse i really like the looks of the rifle but i like remingtons but the ones i like arent in .243

Same with me, the LV SF, Sendero, all the "cool" ones don't come in .243. Have you looked at Tikka, or Howa? I assume you want a heavy barrel version, and they both chamber them in .243, also the Model 70 Coyote Lite is pretty sweet.

yes i want a heavy barrel and yes i like the sendero but yeah no 243 in it howa ? i have never herd of that i like the browning a bolt hunter vf yes i looked a tikka but there stocks look cheap you know what i mean?

jeepkid

Yeah the Tikka does look pretty cheap in the pics, I have yet to see one in real life to tell for sure though. Howa/Legacy Arms are basically just cheaper Weatherbys, they have the same action as the Vanguards. How much are you looking to spend??

Check out the Carbon Fiber Supreme model, it has a Christensen barrel on it. Pretty pricey though, about $1200.

yeah i looked at a tikka today i diddent really like the stock the action and barrel were real nice but the stock was a turn off i have herd good about those Christensen barrels i seen them on alot of elk hunting videos

I guarantee the Tikka will outshoot any $1200 gun out there thats on the free market.

I have a standard Tikka T3 Lite Stainless in 243 that will shoot .5 MOA all day long with whatever I feed it with a Leupold VXII 4-12-x40 on it.

The Tikka Super Varmint was well over $1200 last time I checked and a whole lot heavier then the Howa/Christensen rifle. But yes, they do make nice rifles.
