I got my new upper this week.

.243wssm
24" shilen barrel

I ordered the upper from Dtech Superstore (gun page 2)

This thing is SWEET!!!!!

The fit and finish is amazing. It has a nice heft to it, but that's to be expected. I mounted a Zeiss 4.5-14x44 in a LaRue SPR 1.5 mount. I highly recommend every component on here. I'm hoping to have a range report after this weekend.

I have seen them at the range in both .243and .223WSSM. They shot great but had some feed problems.That.223 WSSM is a real hot cartridge.Well,so is the .243WSSM. sam.

I took it to the range yesterday, and it shot great. The only feed problems I had were from the brass catcher blocking the empty shell.

It held about a 3/4" group with the Winchester silvertips, and about a 1" group with the Winchester soft points. I think after a few good trips with cleanings it will tighten up considerably. I'm going to start handloading as well for it.

Very nice gun. I'm a big AR platform fan. Have three in .223.
