Yup ... though it has a different rifling than the 6mm Remington. The .244 was slower twist and did great with light .243 bullets, but had about a 90 grain upper limit as I recall. The 6mm Remington increased the twist rate to compete more with the .243 Winchester. I think the 6mm Remington a better round, but heard the .244 was really effective as a varment rifle, just fell a little short for those folks that wanted a one gun for deer and varments.
