ive got a 243 and love it.never had a problem with it and have owned it for several years.mine was a xmas gift from my kids so i might be a little partial.
i had one and could not get it to pattern well at all shoot more than 3 times and your done it would spread out over 5-6 inches on target that is the same gun in 243 2 diff people shooting and the same thing now this is at 50 yards
