RE: ZREX influence
Danny, congrats on the gun, and the deer! You won't be disapointed! All calibers need good shot placement! With good hunting bullets, and good shot placement, the .243/6MM will take any Whitetail!
Right now, my "wish list" has several other guns ahead of the .243, but thats only because I'm short on recreational, and defense guns! I sorely regret getting rid of my 6MM Remington! I think when the time comes, I will replace it with the short action .243 though!
Again, congrats!
