I went ahead and purchase a Remington single shot used in like new condition with Millet rings $175.00 The gun did not have a 1/2 box of shells threw it.I check it over seem they are imports from Russia model SPR18 blue on blue with the Remington stamp on it.
I wonder if any one has one and what are pro or cons on the gun.The wood to metal fit is excellent action breaks real tight no end play:trigger could use improvement
I was thinking for that price how could you go wrong
would any one know the barrel twist on the 243 ??

The rifle was made by Baikle and the twist rate is supposed to be 1"10". Considering the rifle retails for about $275.00 new, I think ya done good. Most of these are shooting under an inch at 100 yds depending on the scope. They are a better choice than a Handi-Rifle. The bad news is you don't see them very often. The good news is you already have one.
