A buddies girlfriend wants a 243 semi, I can't think of anything beyond Rem 7400. Anybody got any hints?

I've seen ARs chambered in .243.
Browning...$$
Yeah I bet a BAR would be a sweet shooting little thing.
My Barrel supplier just released AR10/243 Barrels. I have a few on order and hope to see them later next week. Ill message you when they come in.
The Remington 7400 has a new version called the 750 Synthetic. It looks like a slightly cheaper and uglier version.
If that gun fits her, great.
If she likes pretty guns, the Browning BAR ShortTrac is the ideal, but it's over $1000 these days.
Perhaps the AR-10 line of guns is the way to go, with a .243 barrel in a rifle designed for the .308.
Does Remington still make the R-25 rifle in both .308 and .243? They used to, 10 years ago.
(Although that one's still going to be nearly $1000 too).

DPMS has a .243 "Lite Hunter" that looks good.

But, at $1400 retail price, it will lighten your buddy's wallet too!
One good thing about an AR pattern rifle is that you can use a telescoping stock if the girl needs a shorter length of pull. Or, you can use an M16A1 type fixed butt stock, which has a shorter length of pull than the A2 or later models.
Parts that are typically compatible between the AR-15 and AR-10

Get her a Mohawk 600 and spend the difference on range ammo. Who needs a second shot.
