GP1 Posted November 1, 2009 Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 I have put a post up in the wanted section for a custom .243 have been looking for one for a few weeks now, my budget is around £1200 does anyone know of anything about thats in that price bracket or can give me any info on purchasing a good .243, its going to be used for fox & deer, 99% of my shooting is off the back of a land rover so weight isn't an issue. Any advise is appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millwall Paul Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 How about some of the Riflecraft rifles, their semi custom ones fall into your price bracket and having shot them they make a lovely rifle. Or otherwise if you already have the base rifle what about getting one of the builders on here to make the moderations you want. They all have great reputations for the work they do.

GP1 Posted November 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 Andy thanks for that, i have shot one of osprey rifles and it was a great buy for what he paid, i am going to give myself a couple of weeks before i go down that road of getting one built, i have my eye on one at the moment just not to sure if its worth the money he wants, i like the sound of the one OSOK and talked about so just waiting to hear from him.

Redfox Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 Stag 1933 shoots a Sako 75 Varmint in 243 and he is no mean shooter so it is good or it would be history. They certainly do not need a new custom barrel fitted or a custom trigger, the factory originals are capable of a great deal more than most of the shooters buying them. Having got one and enjoyed its excellent shooting abilities, I would get one of the gunsmithing lads on here to polish the trigger scears and bed the action for you, you will then have a super rifle that will last you for years.

OSOK Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 I've just been told that the rifle was sold yesterday through a shop in Burton upon Trent called Livens 01283 568661 for £1200 but these things sometimes fall through so it may pay to ask with the shop just in case .
