On my weekly visit to my gun shop they had one. It was in .243. Felt GREAT. Beautiful Wood..Real Nice fit and finish. Trigger says 4 lbs. but felt a lot lighter. Weight is 7 lbs without scope. Comes with hammer spur, scope rail (drilled to accept Marlin 336 pattern). And the BEST part comes adaptable to 21 different barrel/caliber choices. And unlike the H&R dont have to send in the action to have the barrel fitted, just swap out. The one I am going to start with........................35 WHELEN.
Cost is $273.....extra barrels.....$145
Why the Whelen...Harder hitting than 45/70.....Factory Ammo is expensive but easy to make brass and reload. Its a 30-06 case necked up to .35. Sierra has 200 and 225 gr bullets and data.
I've always wanted one in a Rem 760 or 7600. They quit making them around 90 I think. Not a lot of people have them.....I just like to be different.
