To buy or trade 243 semi-automatic rifle
To buy or trade 243 semi-automatic rifle
This message is in the wrong sub-forum. I would suggest moving or re-posting it to "Buy, Sell and Trade: Rifles and Shotguns",
Thank youThere are few offerings of 243 semi autos. The ones that come to mind are the Remington 742/7400/4 rifles and the AR10 platform. Possibly the Browning BAR but I’m unsure of that chambering.
I second that I bought a used Remington 742 .30-06 once and took it back the next day n got my money back. the rifles bolt was stuck in battery with the spent case from the last round I fired in the chamber. They run them deer with dogs on the eastern end of NC but here in the west it's illegal. Fellas I've known to do it seems to like autoloader shotguns for thatDo yourself a real favor and avoid those Remington products like the plague!!
Auto deer rifles are really popular here in Florida, especially for those of us that run dogs and truth be told I have YET to see one I'd rely on. Friend had an '06 that he sent back to the factory three time.......the Company at that time outsourced repairs..if you could call 'em that! He never did get that thing to work. Another fellow had a brand spankin ' new .280 that jammed on the very first usage on opening day, cost him a nice 8 point....another in the same club had a really pretty .270 that shucked it's extractor on an otherwise easy shot! Locally referred to as jammatics, and for good cause.
By the way, two of those three fella's mentioned bought Browning BAR's after that...................Truly, you could not GIVE me one of those Remingtons!
