🎯 Optic & Sling Setup
Scope: Leica 3.5–10×42
Provides versatile magnification—ideal from short to mid-range shots.
Features generous eye relief (~90 mm), sharp image quality, and rugged recoil resistance—excellent pairing with the mild recoiling .243 Win golf-ball-hunting rifle.
Sling:
Synthetic hunting sling attached via swivel studs on stock and forend.
Helps stabilize shooting offhand or across support, and reduces hand fatigue during long treks.
✅ Performance & Handling
Accuracy: Factory accuracy often falls around 1 MOA; sub‑MOA is achievable with precise handloads
Handling: Short bolt throw plus balanced stock permits fast cycling and smooth follow-up shots
Recoil: Reasonable for .243 Win, with Inflex pad further absorbing recoil.
Suitability: Excellent for deer, antelope, coyotes, and varmints on treks, prairies, and mild brush terrain.

Paired with a Leica 3.5–10×42 scope and sling, it becomes a versatile hunting rig capable of precise shots across varied environments—from close-up brush to mid-range prairies. Great for anyone wanting a premium, do-it-all .243 Win setup.
