Ran across a .243 Ultra up in Rapid City this weekend. Bore and chamber cleaned up nicely, but the barrel exterior needs a lot of TLC. No real pits but lots of splotches; has the look of being rubbed with steel wool. I'll probably use Brownell's cold blue. It worked well on a black powder barrel that got marked by one of the daughter's dog.
Was able to get into it pretty reasonable; turns out it's a 1999 ejector model, per the FAQ, so adding a 22-250 barrel is probably out. The trigger is pretty heavy, so now have to decide whether to try a first-ever at-home trigger job, or is it worth the time/hassle to send to Remmy to let them mess with it? This is not going to be much more than a utility rifle anyway. However, it did have the scope mount and hammer extension. Scope appears to have crosshairs.
