Re: which .243??
I say go with the tikka! As you say you own one and seem to like it so at least you know what you get there!

Why not choose the T3 Varmint Stainless over the T3 Lite Stainless if your after a varmint rifle.

I have a 700 VLS that shoots like crazy! I installed a Jewell trigger, and 1-hole groups (5 shots) are not uncommon when I do my part. It loves 75 grain V-Maxes and 85 grain Sierras.

I have BRNO ZKK 601 in .243 that was made in 1993 but I got it new in the box late last year. I have only put about 75 rounds through it, mostly at paper, although I shot a Sika hind with it when I first got it. It is very accurate, well, for me that is, if I can get under an inch at 100 yards then I am pleased, and I am pleased. I only have BRNO or CZ rifles and cannot fault them. I have just taken custody of a CZ American in 6.5X55 have not had a chance to fire it yet, but I will...............

Sound advise there divr6347!
Tested one few weeks ago chambered in 6,5-284(originaly a 6,5-55) and the damn thing shoots as good as my sako 75 varmint 6,5-55 wich costs twice as much as the tikka!!

Quote:

only problem there is that they say to use factory ammo in it and tikka doesnt make factory ammo so whose is the best to use in one



I have never used factory ammo in my t3 lite 300win mag and i see no reason you should not use your reloaded ammo in it just as in any other rifles!

My top choices for a .243 varmint rifle in order of preference would be:

1. Savage 12BVSS
2. Remington 700 VLS
3. Tikka T3
4. Howa 1500
