The .243 is a girls gun . My nine year old daughter took her first whitetail in
in Jan of 2006 with her mod. 70 the deer was 202 lbs live weight, the shot was 70 yards, and the deer ran 25 yards. shot placement was perfectly through the heart and one lung. The bullet wasnosler 70 grain ballistic tip.
I know, the tongue is not supposed to show, I thought I had it covered up but the excitement of moment was too much.
