Any factory 243 ammo that you think would work for long range?

I have heard that tikka has changed the twist on the .243 to 1 in 8 to allow for the longer bullets (now out to 115gr). As you know, it is not the weight of the bullet but the length of the bullet that needs stabilizing. Longer bullets do weigh more but it is the length that matters. I put a 24" pacnor barrel with a 1 in 8 twist because several types of the 100gr bullets would not group past 100yds. Hero at 100yds.......a zero at 300yds. I shoot in the west where shots are often 250+yds so once we have our zero (100 yds for me), we then go to 300 to make sure we are still accurate. The change in twist made a huge difference out to 300yds. Its interesting that tikka makes the 6mm with a 1 in 8 twist. Really liked your video format - down to earth. Keep'em coming!

My buddies 384 i-Ray has way better of a picture than my agm 384

Sometimes a 162 gr SST or 160 gr speer BTSP in the 7mm ultra mag.

Vithvourti N160

Is the barrel free floated

Price pls

How does it handle recoil from big calibers?

I bought my dad a hunting lease for Father’s Day and im gonna buy my pops this rifle too. I have a model 70 featherweight in 308 myself that packs a punch but this xtr is really nice just classic. Is 270 too big for pops he’s 63? I’d prefer to get .243 for him but I know for fact they have 270

640 and 384 is the difference between brainshot and faceshot at 100yards

Great tip for an age old problem. The only way I could see a dented shoulder hurting you is if you ran a compressed load because then it could over pressurize the case.

Fighting this issue right now. Hense the reason I’m here lol

Great vid sir

Why oh why doesn't anyone include range when showing images through scope???

Really enjoyed your video and your logic behind each cartridge. I really love the 6.5 grendel as it fits perfectly the type of hunting I do for hogs and deer. The 308 packs a lot of power but the recoil is too much compared the grendel. Thanks for sharing!

Use the 4350 imr powder I do works well with the 65 grain ballistic tip.

my money is on the TTSX 100 gr in 6.5 grendel.

i believe 384 consumes less battery than 640. I think people should consider this as part of their options.

My son and I went guided hog hunting this past March 2024 for the first time and rented the rifle (we had shotguns with slugs but felt it better to use a rifle). ONE Grendel round went through two hogs (just behind the ear on the first sow and into the boar's heart behind it) and killed both; it was not an fmj round. This was at maybe 60-80 yards kneeling down free hand through the brush. I only say this because I want to give all the info. Originally, we were going to use 300 Blackout, but the guide talked us into the Grendel (and we were open to new things). Now, totally sold on it.

Just sent in the papers to buy this rifle! Going to be my first hunting rifle, starting my career. :)

The Sepia palette gets my vote.

Nice to see a video where its straight to the point. Thabk you for making this.

I think you are absolutely correct when you say the stocks on these rifles are the prettiest on the market. I’ve had this rifle in 30-06, 280 Remington, 270 Winchester, 25-06 Remington and 243 Winchester. I still have the 270 and 25-06. The others were sold to friends or, in the case of the 30-06, gifted to a family member. I really regret selling the 280. Anyway, thank you for a great video!

These units look a lot like the Pulsar Quantum monoculars.

I've got the t3x in a 223 1-12 twist, and a bergara b14 243 with 1-12, both love Norma tipstrike in 55gr and 76gr respectively, both were new and got more and more accurate over the first box or 2 or ammunition with a couple of cleans, both capable of .3" groups on a good day, average .5-.6, don't think I've ever had over an inch groups at 100m on either which is fantastic considering I don't reload. Great video demonstration. 👍

That is a beautiful rifle, and it shoots good too! Nothing wrong with the push feed, I'm a Remington 700 fan. Love the 243! Just bought a Weatherby Vanguard Bronze in 243! Am seriously considering buying a new model 70 in either 06 or 08.

Are these glorified leupold hd 320x240 thermal sensor with a reticle

Thanks for the info

Ar in x39. If you were smart and found the right soft point or “hollow tip” not hollow point. And got a bunch of cheap ones when you still could. The American brass stuff is good too but not super cheap like what you could get 10 years ago.

40.5 grains of Varget will do the exact same thing. My 70 grain NBT load does 3340 fps

I love the 243 had lots of game drop to 85gr bthp and 95gr sst

I had the same problem with R19 for my 280/06 if you can get ahold of shooters world I've had lots of luck with them

Very good and thorough video. Great video inserts and commentary.Thank you.

I see you mounted the Thermion way too backwards that the mount clamp didn’t fully engage the rail. Is there any reason why you didn’t flip the mount around so you can have proper eye relief?

كم السعر بالدولار عزيزي وكيف يمكن الشراء

Can you shoot 200-250 yards with a base magnification of 2x thermal scope? I thought you needed 3x base mag for longer shots

Thanks for the heads up !

Thanks for sharing. I appreciate it as I’m looking at this one and the Franklin. This one seems better.

That’s a beautiful rifle and an exceptionally beautiful piece of wood 😍 I love the Winchester model 70 Featherweight, I’ve had two in my lifetime. The first one that was chambered in .280 Remington I NEVER should have sold , but that’s life and we live and learn . The one I recently purchased is chambered in .30-06 , it has a beautiful wood stock on it as well ( I’m very particular about the wood on my rifles, and I scoured every gun shop on the internet until I found one that satisfied my likes ) I do prefer the controlled round feed just for the sake of positively being controlled throughout the process of cycling follow up shots in a hurried situation ( charging bear or what have you ) but yes indeed these rifles are my favorite over any other make or model , as you stated , smoothest feeding , well balanced and very accurate no matter what ammo I run through it . I like this .30-06 model 70 Featherweight so much that it’s my GoTo rifle for most anything medium to Big Game that I hunt . I am looking at buying one in .243 Winchester as well for coyote hunting.

Super nice enjoy.😊

Good video. I opted for a Polaris winch because I did not want any issues installing it. Have not installed it yet though. Waiting for warmer weather.

thanks for your video . i have the diamondback hp 4-16 on my .45 smokeless muzzleloader . it handles the recoil and has done good for me in less than 2 years i've had it .

Aged wisdom! Thanks so much.

.50-110

Love your vid, thanks. I've been chronographing 3400 fps with 80 gr. TTSXs.

What grips are those?

You have a first edition Kimber. It has the "A" type bolt action and optional factory sights. When they first came out they were around $750.00 which was out of my reach. Several years passed & I happened to find a "B" action medium 24 inch barrel model after they had the liquidation auction. It didn't have he 5 round clip but I figured that I would find one eventually. I paid $475. for it and was thrilled. About 2 months later I was at another local gun shop and there laying on the counter were about 23 Kimber mags. The box was marked Savage rifle on the side. I asked the new owner how much and he had no idea of what they were or the cost. I was given a price and ended up buying the whole box for $185.00 which was a steal. I ended up calling Jack Warne and he bought all of them on he spot. I ended up buying a Cascade Hornet and a N.I.B. S grade with sights, kimber 4X medallion scope ebony forend for $850. If you need a magazine they use the same magazine as he Winchester 320, which was rebranded from a Sportco which was owned by Greg & Jack Warne..

Does it work well on crossbows?

I havent done a ton of reloading yet. I have stuck like 5 rifle cases so far, but no dents. I have used lanolin based lube & sizing wax. Heavy on both. So heavy the vent was puking lube. No dents. Idk.

As I’m still chasing my first bird. He’s goin down.
