It has become one of my favorite rifles. I bought it mainly for Antelope and deer size game. Since my main "go to" varmint rifle is my Swift, I have not worked up any loads for the 243 in the 55 gr range but I know a lot of guys use theirs for a dedicated varmint rifle.
Would love to get the T3X Superlite but can't find one.
I have found the the blued T3X Lite, so that will be the one I get.
I already have a 98 Mauser in 243 but the barrel copper fouls like crazy, Weird because it is a Lother Walther.
