    The thing with that gun is:

    1. It's a 12 twist, so the ammo selection falls outside of our normal weight range, AND

    2. There's not suppressor on the barrel.

    I don't mind shooting loud guns, but it is disruptive to have to find some muffs in the middle of a shoot.

    For some reason I thought it was a .243.

    Nope. I think .243 was one of the calibers they made, but it's .223

    Gotcha. Yes, mine back in the late 70's was a 24" .243 that was unreal accurate.

    The 5R SS barrel makes his rifle one of the MilSpec models Remington offered at that time.
    I have one in 7.62 Nato and it shoots very well, paid less than a grand for a serious contender.

    At one time I had the exact same gun in 223, 308 and 300WM and all shot great. I sold the 308 to my bother and the 300 to a stranger, but those guns were the best gun for the money in the day.

    I mean exact, all had NF scopes, Timney....loved those guns, all legit.

    We did! Didn't have our normal ranch truck with the ammo tool box in the bed. So the lightest load we had was 69 gr which shot over 3MOA.
