I'm brand new to the game and no where near ready to compete yet. I'm still at the "learning to shoot accurately" phase and want to purchase a gun better suited to long target range sessions. ,my current rifle, while surprisingly accurate, is a hunting rifle and it's barrel is scorching after 5 or 7 rounds.) I'm not ready,or worthy of) a custom target rifle yet, so I'm looking at a good choice from "off the rack" models.
so, does this exist?
new, factory stock bolt action rifle with heavy barrel,and 24"min length), controlled round feed action, synthetic stock in .243 caliber? And to make it challenging, left handed. That's a reasonably short list of requirements, but they are firm - No Remington rifles or rifles based on Remington actions.,this isn't a put down of Remington; I've got a 700, I just want to try "the other kind" this time.) I'm really surprised at how much difficulty I'm having finding even ONE rifle that meets this very short list of requirements. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks!
