Ive had a couple in 243, sold the first one and it took me years to find another. Mine are very accurate. The short barrel is a bit loud but the carbine makes for a good stalking rifle. I load mine with light loads and nosler partitions which my daughters have learnt to hunt with. dont notice the difference velocity wise with the short barrel.
Tried to buy a 458 of a client from california. a luxus which had a interesting history. belonged to the Sha of Irans family.Then a few years in Africa where the client worked and hunted client took a 101 point bull with it and winchester factory 510 bullets.
It was the first 458 I had fired. recoil was not that bad . Mick
