Ya, I bought the Cabela's D-18 model (identical except for the stock camo and has 22" barrel) in .243 a couple years ago for $950. First five shots in that rifle were with factory Hornady Precision 90gr ELDX. One hole, smaller than a dime. I like that rifle so much I bought one of these too in .243. Haven't shot this one yet. The only thing I don't like is that oversized bolt knob sticking me in the back when carrying over my shoulder. I'm left-handed and prefer left shoulder carry.

I’m not sold on the bolt handle either but I’ll give it its fair chance. Easy to change if it doesn’t work out.

Im used to a 24” barrel. So, my thoughts were getting the factory 20” plus 4” for an og 6.5 gets me right back to home. Saving all that money on a barrel cut had I gone with the stainless lite.
