My previous hunting rifle was a 308 model 70 featherweight and its was awesome loved it. Moved from that to the bergara extreme hunter 308 with a 2.5-10x44 vortex viper which is what i used on the sika and its was awesome, got bush bashed and soaking wet every 2 or 3 days and broke the sling off it when i fell of the cliff and not one issue with that but i always felt over gunned. This one is sweet its a model 70 carbine in 243 with a 20" barrel that has an immaculate barrel just need to open up the barrel channel as it hugs the barrel and then bed it. Will get it threaded to take my 308 suppressor and put some talleys and the viper scope on it when i replace the 308's scope. But other then that it doesn't need much else only a recoil pad as the one thats on it is pretty crappy.
