what you guys opinions

[southern_hunter194]

alright im looking at getting either a .220 swift or a .243.
which one would u suggest for me? and is there any good sites for selling firearms?

[gettinby2]

For on-line buying I use gunbroker.com, gunsamerica.com or rrarms.com. These are all good sites and give you a good base line of prices, just remember when buying on-line you have to figure in shipping and the transfer fee from your FFl dealer once they ship it. Usually you are better off using a local dealer unless it is a really good deal.

Oh, and stick to the .243

243, long range, very accurate....and gunbroker.com

The 243 Win. is definitely a lot more versatile (adequate for deer or varmints).

The 220 Swift is ideally a varmint only proposition (coyote or chucks).

Of the two, I strongly suggest you get a good the 243 Win.

I would personally go with the 243win. In my area 243win is easier to come by.The 6mm cal. willdo better in the wind. Plus can be used for varmints,deer or antelope.

I doubt if you will find too many people advocating the Swift. Althogh I'm sure some have killed deer with them, they are primarily a varmint gun. The ,243 is a much better all-around choice. Can be used for deer and varmints both.

.243 beats virtually everything even as a dedicated varmint round.

Wow. Now there is what I call a bold statement.

That's what I was thinking too.

243 can shoot just as flat as any of the other 20s and retains more energy at range, with a larger bullet and better bullet selection.

It's no big secret I'm just comparing them in ballistics catalogs.
