    she will survive I remember when I was a skinny rake lugging a military mauser around the place when that's all you've got you learn to harden up and get on with it different story if money was no object I like the maes never had a problem with them

    You depart with mighty boasts, but you come back having done little.
    Sounds like a typical hunting trip !

    My Ruger M77 .243 is currently being shortened by Hugh Bradley to 18in, he is then fitting a A-Tec suppressor to it, will lighten it up somewhat, that said I still have my MAE over barrel I can use if I wish.
    Thread remains 1/2 x 20, and will continue to run Sierra 85g HPBT at about 3100fps.

    The smallest and lightest model from us for the .243 Win, is the SL5i

    Fits on the palm of your hand, fully welded stainless steel construction and weighing c. 340 grams.

    If one wants to use it on larger calibres, go with the .30 calibre.

    If only wishing to use on 6.5x55, .243 and and anythiging smaller, then the .25 calibre one.

    Best Regards!

    Running dpt and barrel cut to 20.5 getting 3000fps average, using HDY 87g softpoint, 43.5g of 2209, guessing the 90g Speer and 44g of 2209 would be similar speed just haven't chronographed yet.
