My dad has always been a huge fan of .243 caliber. He has always used a Belgium made browning BLR for everything from woodchucks to deer. Now he wants to get into shooting long range with a 243 but the BLR no way set up for it, so he wants to buy a bolt gun without spending too much money. I told him to get a rem700 but he came across a smith and Wesson 1500 for pretty cheap and from what I have been reading they were actually made by Howa and weatherby. Anyone have any experience with these rifles? And are parts interchangeable ie. barrels? With any Howa or weatherby rifles?
