Wal-Mart is clearing out their Weatherby Vanguards for $249 so I went to the Mechanicsburg Wal-Mart and cleared out their remaining inventory. I got a 243 and a 30-06. I want to sell one and keep one. But I can't decide which?

I'd keep the 243, in case some little girl ever wants to go deer hunting?

I once sold a .243 T\C Encore barrel. Bad decision.

Well they're both shooters so I'm keeping them. Wife is making me sell something so 300 Win Mag is leaving.

The 35 Whelen is back from the Smith. Looks like a good job. Can't wait to see how it shoots.

I guess nobody but Rem 700 cares so from now on I'll just PM him instead of posting about guns on here. This site is quickly dying out.

This site, and all other boards are about gone. The lifespan is at it's end. Twitty and Farcebook rule the day...... AND I AIN'T ON NETITHER.

35 W is no Bueno thus far. It shot a 2" group at 50 yards with Rem 200's. I think i'm going to free float it.

I finally put a tape measure to the group. It is 1 5/8". Not as bad as I initially thought. I freefloated the barrel channel now so hopefully I can shrink those groups. At 2 MOA I'd be happy.

The .243 shot a 1 3/8" group at 100 yards today. That was with 100 grain Federals. I'm going to try some other loads. This gun I need Sub MOA from.

When I had my .243 T\C barrel it would shoot sub-MOA with any bullet except a 100gr. The 90gr. worked very well.....but not the 100. BTW....the best powder I found for that barrel was H-414.
