They look real nice but a little to old for a 243 . I've been reading some theads on here . As far as I can tell by everything the people have siad, the barrel is only good for 800 to 1,200 rounds on a 243. A rifle that old is probable there already .
I think thats bull ,but its tuff to argue with people that know everything . |

In that case it won't hurt to shoot them both -- a lot. |

I bet it shoots a heck of a lot better then the Internet says its suppose to. Especially one like pictured. Looks like it has been well cared for.

These guns were bought used but not abused.
My kind of firearms. The magazine on the 88 would not hold a second round and I sent it to a gunsmith for fixing. Probably needs a new spring. |

Very nice. I too like the old timers. There is a quality to them that isn't easily duplicated with the new production firearms. I like the wood stocks, they feel better on my face than the plastic choices that are available on most rifles these days. Hope you have remarkable pleasure shooting these.
