Wayne - the Vangard .243 (24") I purchased a while back, was guaranteed to shoot MOA with GOOD factory ammmo. I've never fired factory ammo in it, but it has shot moa or better with 55gr. Noslers at well over 4,000fps through 100gr. SPBT's from Hornady at pushing 3,100fps.

OH - did not like the 80gr. GMX at 1 1/2" but I only tried one load with them. I suspect juggling the seating depth might fix that. Without the bipod, but with the steel mounts and rings and 6-24X Elite M4200, it's 9 pounds 3 ounces.
