    Which to keep???


    Hunting season is over so it's time to do some routine maintenance & safe cleaning. I'm also looking for a winter project and a way to fund it.
    In 2009 I inherited [actually collateral for a loan that was never repaid] a pair of .243's.
    The first one is a Model 110 with a blind magazine. I found out it is a 1996 thanks to you guys.
    The second is a Model 11 with a DBM [although I didn't get the mag with it] That one is a 2006.
    I don't need 2 in that caliber.
    I'm inclined to keep the newer of the two plus I prefer the DBM.
    Is there any reason to keep the 110 over the 11??
    Thanks in advance.

    Give you 100$ for the one you don’t like?

    If you prefer the DBM, keep that one. Unless there is a big difference in condition, keep the one you prefer.

    " Only accurate rifles are interesting" test with your hunting loads and keep the one you like best. Winter projects ??, use the other as a build project, OR if you only hunt, sell the other and as far as projects, remember," Happy wife, happy life"

    The 1996 model is a stagger-feed. Aftermarket parts and stock support for SF models is becoming non-existent. I'd keep the 2006 model 11, CF with DBM. Become a team member, part out the "96" model and sell the parts in site classified's to get top dollar.
