Wrapped My XS7 243

[Robert Funk]

I finally wrapped my XS7 243 in Mossy Oak Brush pattern. This is going to be my Coyote rifle for hunting in the Arizona Desert. This baby shoots cloverleafs at 100 yards with Sierra 85gr HPBT Gameking bullets and IMR 4350. More than enough to take a coyote out if I do my part.

Nice job Robert. Should blend in nicely.

The 85 Sierra BTHP is one of the best, if not the best, bullet for the 243. It has been my go to bullet for many years. It's a general purpose bullet for the 243 and also works quite well on deer if you keep shots just slightly behind the shoulder.

IMR 4350 is an excellent choice also.

Good luck on your hunt.

Ordered some Speer 70 gr TNT HP bullets to try out this weekend. I will post the results with IMR 4350 and WW 760.

I built a 6 Dasher on my XS7 a few years back and have used it extensively. Shot one last night at 280 yards, using 87 gr Vmax at 3240. Your rifle looks great, nice job! Barlow

Give the 70gr Blitz Kings a try with 41.5gr of Varget. This load is Hell on yotes

If you like the XS7 you can get the same rifle with a detachable mag , Remington 783 . Remington just copied the Marlin . There are a few minor changes .

I got a hold of some Speer 70gr TNT HP's and some IMR 4350 and hit the range today. This rifle has always shot well. Today was no exception. It likes this combo! Coyotes will hate it though.
