Glad you liked it. Currently I have no desire for a 300BO, but it sounds like the new Mod 3 made improvements on that caliber as well as 5.56/.223. I have not threaded my .223 upper yet, it's a 20" deeply fluted bull barrel. I'm still deciding if I want to cut it down to 18" and if I want to thread it 5/8x24 or 1/2x28.
Shortly after I got the stamp and tried the Recce out on my AR, I went and bought a Ruger American Predator .243 as I had to try it on a bolt gun. Last weekend was the first time I started working up loads for it but I've already got an MOA load with the can and I'm confident I can tighten that up even more. I love the rifle, especially the trigger. I think it blows away the Accutrigger on my Dad's Savage model 25. Without the can I was using foam earpro and muffs, with the can I shot it once w/o earpro and it didn't ring my ears but I kept the foamies during load workup.
Off the bench the Recce on the .243 was great, however as many of you know, going from a 16" barrel to a 22" barrel the weight is VERY noticeable. A friend of mine has a GA Sportsman DT on Form 4 that I'll try which is much lighter than the Recce. The SAS Barricade is intriguing but that can would cost me a few hundred more than the Sportsman DT for 1.9oz weight difference. No one I know that has cans has an SAS and no dealer carries them anywhere near me so I'd be a bit apprehensive but the reports seem good.
