   It's not a big calibre, but I'd use the steel recoil lug for sure. The action screws can't be tourqued too tight without damaging the plastic stock anyway. From memory it's about 30-35 inch pounds....

   Looking forward to see what you end up with. I have just bought a Nikko Stirling "LR" in 6-24*50 as I want something that doesn't hurt too much to hold onto if/when I head off shore. Decent...

   Tikka triggers are easily adjusted down to a nicely light weight yourself. Pull the action out of the stock and you can see the screw. There are a couple of good YouTubes about this. Google is your...

   Hi guys, just noticed this thread. If it is of any interest I do make a 70gr HP/FB for target shooting & varmint shooting. I can also make variations in weight but the 70gr is the bullet I keep in...

   I used a Sako Hunter in 243 for a while; 75 grain HP Sierra, in very carefully assembled cartridges to get consistent 3/4" five shot 100yd grouping. Shot a lot of rabbits and hares at longer ranges...

    2209 mate... That's for the 80+ weights though I believe. Other people use something else for the lighter stuff but it seems like you like the idea of the 75+ so it will probably be ok. Brake on...

    I had a Tikka 243 for many years and it accounted for a lot of deer and foxes over here in the UK. I experimented with a whole range of bullets and found the ones that performed best on both deer and...

    its not the recoil of a .243 that bothers me . . . but the idea i might miss seeing the hits.... Quote, that's because of recoil isn't it.... As far as scope I use 8-32 which is good but more is...

    You could put a break on it so you can watch the hits. A breaked 243 wouldn't have much recoil or jump I would imagine. It would enhance the noise factor some what.

    For long range you will need the right twist to be competitive with a fast .22 Last time I ran the numbers, to me the .22 with heavy weight projectiles only needed to be 100fps faster than the likes...

    I am shooting 243 hornady 75 gr v max in mine. Seems to work all right as it s printing three shots clovers at a 100. But it is not my favorite rifle. I prefer th 204.
