243 is home.

I've always liked the way those stocks looked but I've never shot one. Closest thing I have to that is a HS Precision on an old Sendero but the Win Mag does not feel like a squib.
I like the magpul pretty good. Its solid with alum block but still not very heavy. Great for hunting and fits me well. I went ahead and had my barrel threaded and recrowned while it was at smith #1. I plan on putting a brake of some sort or a can on it just to make those all day shooting days more pleasant. And my little girl can shoot it easier.

when he gets a little older, I'll change the barrel out to a 308 more than likely.

Ah but why not a whole new gun?

Why? What's he going to do with a .308 that he can't with a .243?

And PS, I wish I had a grandpa who built cool guns for me! As it is, none of my dad's or mom's family are much into guns. To the extent that the first time I ever shot a centerfire gun was after I turned 18 and bought a rifle of my own.

mostly, I shot 308s and him having the same thing would make reloading easier. Besides, I'm not sure I want him elk hunting with a 243.

why would a 16 year old need a youth model rifle?
