Mike,

Did you mean .243 WSSM? I got mine in .223 WSSM and it's a shooter. No problems to report of any kind. Lawdog

I own one & it is junk! I have shot about 300 rounds out of it, various loads, and it groups 2.5-3" MOA.

Mine in 243 is extreamly accurate. I often can keep 5 shots inside .5". I do get the one flyer often but it only stretches the group out to about an inch.

85 gr. Sierra HPBT, cci 200, Varget-38.5 gr., Rem brass.

70 gr. Sierra Blitzking, Win WLR, Varget 41.5 gr., Rem brass.

The 85 gr. load is a little slower but I get one hole groups often.

I recently picked up a Win M70 Stealth II in .243 WSSM. Just finished barrel break in/scope sight in, and was very pleased with the accuracy so far. I used a black 3/4" target paster as my aiming point. The rifle grouped about 1 1/2" at 200 yds with Win factory ammo. The 55 gr.balistic silvertip supreme(that's all the the store had). Chronographed 4222 fps average with an extreme spread of 57 fps and standard deviation of 17 fps. I had a smile on my face for quite a while that day.
