Re: Cheapest car you've ever bought

In 1975 I bought my bosses 1960 Corvair for $65.00., I put a coat of wax on it and drove it for over a year before I traded it for a set of Ramflo pipes for my Honda 350.

.243's need a tight twist in the barrel ( 1:10 ), especially for the heavier bullets. My Valmet hunter shoots nice with 80grains but starts to wander with 100gr
